我所王磊研究员应邀牵头组织《第三极地区气候变化及其相关冰冻圈和水圈变化》专刊

第三极地区(Third Pole, TP)是以青藏高原为核心的亚洲高海拔地区。TP分布着约10万平方公里冰川,这是在南北极以外的地球最大冰川群。TP是亚洲众多大江大河的发源地(如恒河、雅鲁藏布江、印度河、长江、黄河、塔里木河、湄公河、萨尔温江、阿姆河和锡尔河等),为下游数百万居民提供了宝贵的水资源。TP海拔高、覆盖着大面积的积雪、冰川、冻土和湖泊,对区域气候有深远的影响。自上世纪八十年代以来,TP变得更暖更湿,表现为气温显著上升,降水的时空变异性加剧;过去半个世纪TP的升温速率约为全球平均值的两倍,区域变暖变湿的气候与冰川退缩、湖泊扩张、冻土活动层增厚等现象密切相关。

Frontiers in Earth Science编辑部邀请,中科院青藏高原所王磊研究员牵头,联合来自中科院南京地理与湖泊所、德国Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)、日本International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM)以及青藏高原所的相关学者,组织了以《第三极地区气候变化及其相关的冰冻圈和水圈变化》(Climatic and Associated Cryospheric and Hydrospheric Changes on the Third Pole)为主题的专刊,旨在推动和促进针对TP气候变化及其对冰冻圈和水圈相关影响的专题研究。该专刊基本涵盖过去几十年TP气温、降水、积雪、冰川、冻土、湖泊和河流径流的变化,及其与气候变化之间的关联。这些研究成果将有助于提升对TP冰冻圈-水圈-大气圈之间相互作用的理解。

该期研究专刊共包含9篇论文,其中3篇是关于冰冻圈水文学的综述文章,综合集成实地观测、卫星遥感及过程模型,深入讨论了青藏高原冰冻圈水文方向的最新进展;其他研究论文则分别阐述了青藏高原的湖泊效应降水、巴伦支海海冰与青藏高原中西部地区雪深的遥相关、喜马拉雅地区的冰川消融、珠穆朗玛峰源头的水质化学、高山区积雪变化趋势等。跨学科的第三极专刊涵盖了气候、水文、冰冻圈、地质化学和遥感等多个学科内容,提高了对TP地区多圈层过程及其相互作用的认识和理解。

截止到202123日,《Climatic and Associated Cryospheric and Hydrospheric Changes on the Third Pole》研究专刊的9篇论文都已正式在《Frontiers in Earth Science》发表。感兴趣的读者可通过扫描二维码或点击链接,获取该研究专刊的全部论文。
