Many water body identification methods have achieved good results in different application scenarios, but only a few for arid areas. An arid region water detection rule (ARWDR) was proposed by combining vegetation index and water index. Taking computing advantages of the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform, 56,284 Landsat 5/7/8 optical images in the TRB were used to detect open-surface water bodies and generated a 30-m annual water frequency map from 1992 to 2019. The interannual changes and trends of the water body area were analyzed and the impacts of climatic and anthropogenic drivers on open-surface water body area dynamics were examined.

Received: 20 May 2011; in revised form: 13 June 2011 / Accepted: 26 June 2011 / Published: 30 June 2011 Abstract: The natural environment affects the construction of desert highways. Conversely, highway construction affects the natural environment and puts the ecological environment at a disadvantage. To satisfy the variety and hierarchy of desert highway construction and discover the spatio-temporal distribution of the natural environment and its effect on highway construction engineering, an assessment of the natural regional divisions of desert highways in China is carried out for the first time. Based on the general principles and method for the natural region division, the principles, method and index system for desert highway assessment is put forward by combining the desert highway construction features and the azonal differentiation law. The index system combines the dominant indicator and four auxiliary indicators. The dominant indicator is defined by the desert’s comprehensive state index and the auxiliary indicators include the sand dune height, the blown sand strength, the vegetation coverage ratio and the annual average temperature difference.

  • Inverted Relief Landforms in the Kumtagh Desert of Northwestern China: a Mechanism to Estimate Wind Erosion Rates
    GEOLOGICAL JOURNAL Geol. J. 52: 131–140 (2017) Published online 13 November 2015 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com). DOI: 10.1002/gj.2739 Inverted relief landforms in the Kumtagh Desert of northwestern China: a mechanism to estimate wind erosion rates ZHEN-TING WANG1,2*, ZHONG-PING LAI3 and JIAN-JUN QU2 1State Key Laboratory of Earth Surface Processes and Resource Ecology, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, China 2Dunhuang Gobi Desert Research Station, Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute, CAS, Dunhuang, China 3State Key Laboratory of Biogeology and Environmental Geology, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, China Although commonly found in deserts, our knowledge about inverted relief landforms is very limited. The so-called ‘Gravel Body’ in the northern Kumtagh Desert is an example of an inverted relief landform created by the exhumation of a former fluvial gravel channel. The common occurrence of these landforms indicates that fluvial processes played an important role in shaping the Kumtagh Desert in the past 151 ka. A physical model is presented to reconstruct the palaeohydrology of these fluvial channels in terms of several measurable parameters including terrain slope, boulder size, and channel width. Combining the calculated palaeoflood depth, the maximal depth of channel bed eroded by wind, and the current height of inverted channels with the age of the aeolian sediments covered by gravels, the local wind erosion rate is estimated to be 0.21–0.28 mm/year. It is shown that wind erosion occurring in the Kumtagh Desert is no more severe than in adjacent regions. Since the modern Martian environment is very similar to that of hyperarid deserts on Earth, and Mars was once subjected to fluvial processes, this study will be helpful for understanding the origin of analogous Martian surface landforms and their causative processes.

    2019 4th International Conference on Education and Social Development (ICESD 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-621-3 Artistic Appreciation and Cultural Connotations of Wild Camel Stamps Wurihan1,a and Guleng AMU2,b,* 1College of Materials Science and Art Design, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Huhhot, Inner Mongolia, China 2College of Science, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Huhhot, Inner Mongolia, China [email protected], bamu66@ imau.edu.cn *Corresponding author Keywords: Wild Camel; Stamp; Artistic Appreciation; Cultural Connotation; Collection. Abstract. Wild camels are rare and endangered animals that are highly adaptable to extreme drought conditions in central Asia. Since the mid-19th century, the population and distribution of wild camels has been shrinking and decreasing. Wild Camel stamps are authoritative, scientific and authentic propaganda media issued by the government. Wild camel stamp combines stamp science with wild camel science, which makes up for the deficiency of single stamp research and single wild camel research. Wild camel stamps depict, using artistic language, the indomitable vitality of the wild camel, which can withstand severe cold and heat, endure hunger and thirst, and resist harsh environment. At the same time, it also publicizes the precious value of the wild camel in the world with the unique function of stamps, reminding people to protect this ancient and magical animal. We hope that wild camel stamps, like other intangible heritages, will have a place in art, collections, and culture. Brief Introduction of Stamps The earliest stamp in the world was the “black penny” issued by the British in May 1840 [1]. Postage stamps are a sanctioned product of official government agencies [2].

This paper discusses the distribution pattern and major features of sand seas and large fields of stabilized dunes in northern China, and demonstrates the main influences on their development. It appears that the availability of onsite loose sediments, not wind strength, is critical to the occurrence of the sand seas on a regional scale. Tectonic, endorheic basins or areas of alluvial fans or forelands of mountain ranges are advanta- geous to the accumulation of fluvial sediments, and thus are ideal locations of large sand seas in an arid climate. The large dune fields currently stabilized by vegetation were active sand seas during the drier periods of the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. The distribution patterns of Chinese sand seas suggest that the height or size of the dunes in the sand seas are determined more by the availability of sands than any other potential factors.

Desert regions of northern China have always been the most severely affected by climate change, especially in terms of their ecological integrity and social sustainable development. Assessments of dryness in both space and time are central to 15 the development of adaptation strategies to climate change. Earlier studies have identified long-term patterns of dryness in northern China, but these studies have usually been of limited value to land-management planning as they ignore local-to- regional-scale climate features. To identify potential cause-and-effect relationship between aridity and vegetation cover, changes in aridity index (AI) and vegetation cover were tracked with the assistance of a chronological series of surfaces based on the mapping of AI and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and convergent cross mapping.

How Chinese deserts and sand fields responded to these distinc- tive climatic changes is still not clear, however. To reconstruct environments of the deserts and sand fields during the LGM and HO is helpful to understand the forcing mechanisms of environment change in this arid region, and to test paleoclimatic modeling results.
