We use a numerical model that couples the convective heat transfer due to the airflow in a single karst conduit with the conductive heat transfer in the rock mass. Assuming dry air and a simplified geometry, we investigate the propagation of thermal perturbations inside the karst massif. We perform a parametric study to identify general trends regarding the effect of the air flowrate and conduit size on the amplitude and spatial extent of thermal perturbations. Numerical results support the partition of a cave into three regions: (a) a short (few meters) diffusive region, where heat mainly propagates from the external atmosphere by conduction in the rock mass; (b) a convective region where heat is mainly transported by the air flow; (c) a deep karst region characterized by quasi-constant temperatures throughout the year. Numerical simulations show that the length of the convective region is approximately proportional to the amplitude of the flowrate annual fluctuations divided by the square root of the cave radius. This result is tested against field data from a mine tunnel and two caves. Our study provides first estimates to identify climate sensitive regions for speleothem science and/or ecosystemic studies.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JF007646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to co-seismically triggered ground failure, the earthquake-affected region remains vulnerable to landslides due to loosened and unstable materials and structures. Many researchers have studied landslide distributions and their controlling factors after earthquakes, but the function of ground motion is unclear. To investigate the connection in a strike-slip earthquake, we analyzed the 5 September 2022 Luding earthquake (Mw 6.6) in Sichuan Province, China. We interpreted remote-sensing images to obtain the landslide distribution before and after the earthquake, calculated surface deformation from D-InSAR data (pre- and post-earthquake), utilized a point-source model for the focal mechanism inversion, and then constructed a finite fault model for the rupture slip. There are clear differences in the landslide distributions on the two sides of the fault before and after the earthquake. The density of co-seismic landslides on the west side of the fault exceeded that on the east side. The patterns of surface deformation and ground motion indicated that the areas with larger deformation and motion were associated with more landslides. Furthermore, the landslide size decreased with distance from the fault. A new finding is that co-seismic landslides induced by strike-slip earthquakes result in high landslide concentration on both sides of the fault, while previous studies find that co-seismic landslides triggered by thrust earthquakes present a hanging wall concentrated distribution pattern. These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the connection between ground movement patterns and landslide distributions.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the understanding of barchan dune morphodynamics comes from field observations, numerical simulations, and downsized water-tunnel experiments as well. Many of the evolution of barchan dunes in water-tunnel experiments are similar to those of aeolian cases, although they have notable differences in scale, sand particle motion and hydrodynamic characteristics. Here, we first review the literature on the local similarities between aeolian and downsized subaqueous barchan dunes, focusing on (a) dune formation, (b) dune morphology, (c) particle-scale characteristics, and (d) sand/dune emission at horns. A comprehensive description of double-dune interaction modes is then presented to illustrate the local similarity of barchan dune morphodynamics. Specifically, as the interaction mode undergoes a process of “merging-splitting-chasing,” the similarity between the interaction modes of aeolian and downsized subaqueous dunes continuously decreases. Furthermore, we summarize the significance and limitations of downsized water-tunnel experiments for barchan dunes, and highlight the focus for future investigation.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141156476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the depositional record of tsunami inundation is extensive in some of these marshes, few sites have been investigated in enough detail to map the inland extent of sand deposition and depict variability in tsunami deposit thickness and grain size. We collected 129 cores in marshes of the Salmon River estuary in Oregon and reanalyzed 114 core logs from a 1987–88 study that mapped the inland extent of circa 1700 CE sandy tsunami deposits. The ca. 1700 CE tsunami deposit in the Salmon River estuary is easily recognized in cores ≤1 m deep in which a buried marsh peat is overlain by a well sorted sand bed with a sharp lower contact that thins and fines inland. We use tsunami deposit data and models of sandy tsunami sediment transport (using Delft3D-FLOW) to test 15 rupture models that could represent a ca. 1700 CE earthquake. At least 12–16 m of slip offshore of the Salmon River, which results in 0.8–1.0 m of coastal coseismic subsidence, is required to match the ca. 1700 CE sand deposit's inland extent, which is consistent with models of heterogeneous megathrust slip in ca. 1700 CE. Our methods of detailed tsunami deposit mapping, combined with sediment transport modeling, can be used to test models of megathrust ruptures and their tsunamis to potentially improve earthquake and tsunami hazard assessments.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023JF007444","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141096280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In view of the multifactorial nature of this complex problem, it has previously been proposed that natural geomorphic experiments could play a significant role in developing a quantitative understanding of landscape growth and decay. Here, we describe and analyze a stacked sequence of five buried transient landscapes that punctuate marine strata along the fringes of the North Atlantic Ocean. We propose that these landscapes constitute a suite of natural experiments, which illuminate significant aspects of quantitative fluvial geomorphology. Our preliminary analysis of four of these buried landscapes suggests that the amplitude of external tectonic forcing plays a significant role in fluvial landscape evolution.

No evidence of high methane concentrations in sediments, chemosynthetic biological communities, or methane-derived diagenetic byproducts was found. Chirp data and sediment cores showed alternating layers of slowly accumulating hemipelagic drapes interrupted by more reflective turbidite horizons that extend throughout the pockmark field and beyond. Chirp data showed multiple episodes of lateral migration over time in some of the pockmarks in association with erosion and infilling events. Laterally continuous turbidite horizons that overlay erosional surfaces indicated that pockmark migration occurred synchronously in multiple pockmarks separated by tens of kilometers. These shifts are presumed to be the result of asymmetrical erosion of the pockmark flanks caused by passing sediment gravity flows. While some pockmarks occur in chains, most are not clustered or randomly spaced but are regularly dispersed within the pockmark field. We hypothesize that intermittent, unconfined sediment gravity flows occurring over at least the last 280,000 years are the source of the regionally continuous turbidite deposits and the mechanism that maintained the regularly dispersed pockmarks.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023JF007374","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141073753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a bio-mediated approach based on microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) to increase soil resilience to wetting-drying cycles. To explore its viability and the underlying mechanisms, we conducted a series of laboratory tests on clayey soil that underwent six wetting-drying cycles. The tests were conducted with different treatment methods to investigate the effect of treatment sequence and cementation solution concentration. After MICP treatment, the initial evaporation rate, surface crack ratio during drying, and total soil weight loss during rainfall erosion were reduced by up to 32%, 85%, and 90%, respectively. Spraying the cementation solution first in the MICP treatment sequence proves more effective in improving soil water retention capacity. On the other hand, initiating the sequence with the bacterial solution demonstrates a more pronounced effect in reducing soil desiccation cracks and erosion. Microstructure analysis reveals that the content and distribution of CaCO3 precipitation are the major factors controlling the effectiveness of MICP for the cementation of clayey soil. Employing MICP can minimize the carbon footprint and contribute to developing environmentally friendly solutions for soil improvement in regions affected by climatic wetting-drying cycles.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141073732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Woody vegetation located within barrier island interiors can alter patterns of overwash, leading to periods of periodic-barrier island retreat. Due to the interplay between island interior vegetation and patterns of barrier island migration, it is critical to better understand the factors controlling the presence of woody vegetation on barrier islands. To provide new insight into this topic, we use remote sensing data collected by LiDAR, LANDSAT, and aerial photography to measure shrub presence, coastal dune metrics, and island characteristics (e.g., beach width, island width) for an undeveloped mixed-energy barrier island system in Virginia along the US mid-Atlantic coast. We apply decision tree and random forest machine learning methods to identify new empirical relationships between island geomorphology and shrub presence. We find that shrubs are highly likely (90% likelihood) to be present in areas where dune elevations are above ∼1.9 m and island interior widths are greater than ∼160 m and that shrubs are unlikely (10% likelihood) to be present in areas where island interior widths are less than ∼160 m regardless of dune elevation. Our machine learning predictions are 90% accurate for the Virginia Barrier Islands, with almost half of our incorrect predictions (5% of total transects) being attributable to system hysteresis; shrubs require time to adapt to changing conditions and therefore their growth and removal lags changes in island geomorphology, which can occur more rapidly.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141053492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical and asymptotic solutions are calculated for the cases of planar and three-dimensional flows fed by a point source upstream of the shoreline. We consider several modes of delta formation: a reduction in the driving buoyancy force; an enhanced viscosity of the submerged material; and the production of a granular subaqueous platform, over which a subaerial current can propagate. These modes of delta formation result in different behaviors. Under a steady supply of fluid upstream, the buoyancy-driven case develops a solution with a steady subaerial delta and a subaqueous current which propagates at a constant speed, while the granular platform model extends the delta indefinitely. We determine a late-time power-law relation for the shoreline extent with time in this case. When the viscosity contrast is large, the model with an enhanced subaqueous viscosity is shown to mimic the initial dynamics of the granular platform model, but ultimately reaches a steady shoreline extent at sufficiently late times, as for the buoyancy-driven model. The distinct behaviors of these models are further illustrated through laboratory experiments, utilizing the gelling reaction of sodium alginate solution in the presence of calcium ions as a novel analog for the abrupt rheological changes that occur when lava makes contact with water. These experiments provide quantitative verification of the buoyancy-driven model in the absence of the reaction, and demonstrate the effects of a subaqueous platform qualitatively in its presence.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023JF007505","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140924833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inferring historical flow information from spatial grain arrangements has garnered considerable interest among researchers. This study presents a robust and feasible method for such inference, focusing on quantitative approaches to estimate grain arrangement through inclination analysis. Two parameters based on inclination analysis are proposed for estimating grain arrangement. Quantitative relationships between these parameters and grain arrangements are established using artificially generated grain surfaces with predefined grain features. Additionally, the degree of imbrication, represented by the standard deviation of inclination curves, is examined using these generated surfaces. At the macroscopic level, the irregular inclination curve of a riverbed arises from the spatial variability of local hydrodynamic processes, leading to different local grain arrangements. Leveraging this feature at the microscopic level, the spatial distribution of grain orientation, or the grain azimuth field, is obtained using the proposed quantitative relationship. To explore the relationship between this grain azimuth field and flow velocity directions, a three-dimensional turbulent model based on Detached Eddy Simulation is deployed to simulate the detailed flow field near a gravel bed surface. Comparisons between the grain azimuth field and the flow velocity field highlight similarities, affirming that historical flow direction can be inferred from grain arrangement information. This study contributes to advancing the understanding of the intricate connections between grain arrangements and historical flow dynamics in gravel-bed rivers.","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023JF007480","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140924834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
