TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of identification of ice lake outburst small watershed in high-altitude mountainous area, and particularly relates to an ice lake outburst small watershed identification method and system based on valley geomorphic feature index. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to better prevent ice lake outburst disaster events and reduce losses, it is necessary to scientifically and accurately achieve early identification of ice lake outburst small watershed. At present, there are mainly two identification methods as follows:
[0003] 1. The history of ice lake outburst is grasped through literature, data, etc. However, most of the ice lake outburst floods occur in high mountain uninhabited areas, and are low-frequency events with long return period. The records of ice lake outburst events in the Himalayan region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau started in the 19th century. The early records were concentrated in the lower reaches of the main stream and were relatively vague. In addition, only in the areas with human activities, there are records of ice lake outburst disasters. Therefore, for the high mountain uninhabited areas crossed by linear engineering such as roads at present, the record data of such events are extremely scarce. Therefore, the strong dependence of this method on data leads to certain limitations in time and space scales, including the short time scale of ice lake outburst event records, and the spatial limitation of areas with ice lake outburst disaster records to areas with human activities.
[0004] 2. Whether the ice lake in the upstream of the small watershed has outburst history is analyzed through multi-period remote sensing images. However, remote sensing images also have the phenomenon that the time scale does not match the low frequency characteristics of ice lake outburst. The technology of monitoring ground objects through remote sensing images started in the middle and late 20th century. The first satellite of Landsat was launched in 1972, so the history of ice lake outburst before 1972 cannot be obtained through Landsat images. In addition, the resolution of remote sensing images also has certain limitations on the early prediction of ice lake outburst small watershed. The resolution of early remote sensing images is low, and the error in the interpretation of ground objects is large. Until the 21st century, the resolution of QuickBird images was improved to 0.3m. At the same time, the identification method based on remote sensing images is only for ice lake itself, ignoring the description of ice lake to the downstream landform. Moreover, the identification of ground objects through images can only identify the response of gully or valley to ice lake outburst in the horizontal plane, and it is difficult to identify the response in the direction of gravity, which is the most direct description of the impact of ice lake outburst flood on landform. Therefore, this method still has limitations in time scale, and it is difficult to explain the impact of ice lake outburst on landform in three-dimensional space scale.
[0005] Meanwhile, it is also found that the ice lake outburst disasters often occur repeatedly in the same area, so the disasters have a long time scale of continuous influence and characterization on the landform. However, the frequency of such large-scale ice lake outburst disasters is low, some of which are beyond the historical records, and some of which occur in high-altitude uninhabited areas. Therefore, it is difficult to directly determine whether the ice lake outburst has occurred in the small watershed in history in the area without historical records or in the high-altitude uninhabited area. SUMMARY
[0006] The application provides an ice lake outburst small watershed identification method and system based on a valley landform feature index. The method is based on the quantitative landform features perpendicular to the channel direction and parallel to the channel direction, and the ice lake outburst small watershed is identified based on the valley landform feature index, so as to more accurately, conveniently and efficiently identify the early macroscopic ice lake outburst small watershed in the high mountain area.

[0057] When the GLBN value is greater than the identification threshold value, the small watershed is determined to be a glacial lake outburst small watershed.
[0058] In some embodiments, the identification threshold value is determined by 80% of the lowest value of the GLBN value of the sample database.
[0059] In some embodiments, the alpha, beta and gamma are determined based on a sample database formed from typical ice lake outburst cases, by testing the GLBN identification performance of different parameter combinations and using the minimum error method.
[0060] In some embodiments, the ice lake location is determined by optical image recognition or contour line generation using elevation data, and the area where the contour line forms a closed circular or elliptical low-lying land and is located at the end of the glacier is determined as the ice lake location; the channel location is determined by the V-shaped bending feature of the contour line.
[0061] In some embodiments, the average slope upstream and downstream of the ice lake along the channel direction is calculated by using an equal-interval sliding window to calculate the slope value of each segment, and then taking the average value of the upstream and downstream channels.
[0062] In some embodiments, the upstream and downstream values of b in the vertical channel direction are obtained by fitting the cross-sectional data, and the specific method is as follows: the cross-sectional data is extracted by the spatial analysis module of ArcGIS software, and the cross-sectional data is divided into left and right parts according to the lowest point of elevation, and the function y=ax b The left and right part data are fitted, and the average value is taken as the b value of the corresponding position, and then the b values of the upstream and downstream of multiple cross sections are averaged to obtain the b values of the upstream and downstream of the ice lake in the vertical channel direction. b The left and right part data are fitted, and the average value is taken as the b value of the corresponding position, and then the b values of the upstream and downstream of multiple cross sections are averaged to obtain the b values of the upstream and downstream of the ice lake in the vertical channel direction.

[0066] Finally, the final parameters, the small watershed area, the glacier type and the fitting residual are taken as inputs to generate a dynamic threshold value using a gradient boosting tree model. The dynamic threshold value is dynamically adjusted according to the characteristics of the small watershed. When the calculated GLBN value is greater than the dynamic threshold value, it is determined that the small watershed is an ice lake outburst small watershed.
[0067] In some embodiments, when the small watershed is determined to be an ice lake outburst small watershed, a target area is determined for the arrangement of ice lake outburst monitoring instruments in the small watershed, and the monitoring instruments include a radar flow meter and a vibration signal collector.
[0068] In some embodiments, when the small watershed is determined to be an ice lake outburst small watershed, an area of focus is determined for satellite monitoring, and the focus includes the area of the ice lake in the small watershed, and extreme temperature and precipitation conditions.
[0069] The technical concept of the present application is as follows:
[0070] The present application analyzes the geomorphic characteristics of 6 typical ice lake outburst small watershed channels in the middle and eastern sections of the Himalayas, and finds that the geomorphology of the upstream and downstream of such ice lake outburst has significant differences, including a U-shaped valley upstream and a deep V-shaped valley downstream along the channel direction, and a gentle slope upstream and a steep slope downstream vertically along the channel direction. Thus, an ice lake outburst small watershed identification method based on valley geomorphic feature indicators is proposed. This method is a process-driven identification method based on geomorphic response, and its core advantage is to abandon the dependence on historical ice lake outburst records and to infer the occurrence of ice lake outburst events through the evolution results of geomorphology. Instead of simply superimposing static indicators, this method identifies the nonlinear response of geomorphology on a time scale, including slope discontinuity and valley type conversion, reflecting the erosion energy triggered by ice lake outburst and the influence of spatial transmission. Based on the principle that geomorphic response processes and traces replace historical records, this method can be used to identify ice lake outburst small watersheds in unpopulated areas or areas without historical records of ice lake outburst, especially in unpopulated areas and areas without data records on the plateau. This method can make up for the lack of remote sensing sequence length and historical records, and can determine the target area for the scientific arrangement of ice lake outburst monitoring instruments and the focus of satellite monitoring on the area of the ice lake in the small watershed and extreme temperature and precipitation. This method solves the strong dependence on historical data records and the limitations in time scale and spatial scale in existing identification methods, realizes risk assessment in areas without data, and breaks through the time and space limitations of existing technologies. The ice lake outburst small watershed identification process based on valley geomorphic feature indicators is shown in Figure 2 .
[0071] The ice lake outburst small watershed identification method based on valley geomorphic feature indicators includes the following steps:
[0072] Step S1, obtain high-precision DEM elevation data and multi-period remote sensing image data within the ridge line range of the identified small watershed, and construct a geomorphology-hydrology coupled model of the identified small watershed;
[0073] Step S2, identify the channel and ice lake according to the multi-period remote sensing image data, and determine the position of the ice lake. Obtain the longitudinal profile along the channel direction according to the DEM data, and calculate the slope of the upstream and downstream of the ice lake along the channel direction and ;
[0074] Step S3, according to the position of the ice lake and the position of the channel, draw a cross section with an interval of 50m in the vertical direction of the channel and upstream and downstream of the ice lake respectively, and fit the longitudinal profile by the function (fit the relationship between the elevation (y) of the cross section and the horizontal distance (x), a is the coefficient of the fitting function) to obtain the b value which can represent the U-shaped or V-shaped valley geomorphic characteristics, b and ;
[0075] x: represents the horizontal distance (unit: m) of a point in the cross section to the lowest point (channel bottom) of the channel, that is, the horizontal length extending from the channel bottom to the two sides of the mountain slope in the vertical direction of the channel;
[0076] y: represents the elevation (unit: m) of the corresponding x position on the cross section, that is, the terrain height at a horizontal distance of x from the channel bottom;
[0077] a: the coefficient of the fitting function, reflecting the overall elevation reference of the cross section (related to the overall depth of the valley);
[0078] b: the index (i.e. the superscript b of x) of the fitting function, which is used to represent the key indicator of the U-shaped or V-shaped valley geomorphic characteristics;
[0079] Step S4, according to the results of S2 and S3, calculate the GLBN (Glacier Lake Basin Index, Glacier Lake Basin Index) value of the identified small watershed through When the value is greater than 1.62, the identified small watershed has occurred ice lake outburst in history, and the possibility of future ice lake outburst is relatively high, which belongs to the ice lake outburst small watershed. Among them, α is the weight coefficient of the wide valley and narrow valley index, which is 1.2 here; β is the weight coefficient of the channel slope index, which is 0.9 here; γ is the comprehensive adjustment coefficient, which is 0.5 here. The values of the parameters are based on the sample database (6 cases), and the GLBN identification performance of different parameter combinations is tested, and the minimum error method is used to determine α=1.2, β=0.9, γ=0.5 as the optimal combination. In addition, sensitivity analysis (such as Figure 4a , Figure 4b and Figure 4c As shown in Table 4, the verification GLBN identifies the result change less than 3% under ±15% parameter fluctuation, and the model is robust.
[0080] In step S1, the elevation data can be obtained from ASTER GDEM and other data through websites such as geospatial data cloud, or higher precision DEM data can be obtained through on-site investigation by unmanned aerial vehicle. The multi-period remote sensing image can be Sentinel, Landsat data, or can be obtained through Google Earth platform and Long Light Satellite channel.
[0081] In step S1, the resolution of high-precision DEM elevation data is 30m or 12.5m or higher precision of centimeter-level unmanned aerial vehicle image.
[0082] In step S2, the determination of the position of the ice lake and the channel is the premise of the technology. Among them, the position of the ice lake can be obtained through optical image, for small watershed with small ice lake area, high-precision DEM data can be used to generate contour line, and the area with closed circular / elliptical low land and located at the end of the glacier is the position of the ice lake. The position of the channel can also be determined by the "V" type bending feature of the contour line.
[0083] In step S2, and respectively represent the average slope of the longitudinal section of the upstream and downstream of the ice lake along the channel direction, which should be calculated according to the DEM and contour line data. Specifically, for the upstream and downstream channels of the ice lake, the slope value of each section is calculated by using a sliding window with an interval of 100m, and then the average slope of the longitudinal section of the upstream and downstream of the ice lake along the channel direction is obtained.
[0084] In step S3, and respectively represent the average value of the b value of the multiple cross-section topographic indexes of the upstream and downstream of the ice lake perpendicular to the channel direction with an interval of 50m. Specifically, after determining the cross-section, the cross-section data is extracted by the spatial analysis module of ArcGIS software. The cross-section data is divided into left half and right half according to the lowest point of elevation, and then the left half data and the right half data are fitted by the function y=ax b respectively, and finally the average value is taken as the b value which can represent the U-shaped or V-shaped valley topography characteristics of the cross-section.
[0085] In step S4, based on the typical ice lake breaching small watershed in the middle and eastern regions of the Himalayas , and The GLBN value of each small watershed is calculated. In the method, since the method is mainly based on the slope change and valley type conversion caused by the ice lake outburst in the topography, the decrease of the b value from the upstream of the ice lake to the downstream of the ice lake indicates that the wide valley is converted into the narrow valley, and the change of the valley type is reflected, that is, the ice erosion is converted into the water erosion; and the increase of the i value from the upstream to the downstream indicates that the slope is steep, and the strong gravity erosion process of the historical ice lake outburst flood is embodied. The product of the two reflects the nonlinear response strength of the outburst topography through the coupling of the exponential and logarithmic terms. The discrimination threshold 1.62 is determined according to 80% of the minimum value of the GLBN value of six typical ice lake outburst cases such as Gongbatongsa Tsho (E86.0659, N28.0744), Chhubung (E86.4736, N27.8632), TamPokhari (E86.8448, N27.7425), Nagma Pokhari (E87.7627, N27.8653), Upper Langbu Tsho (E86.4487, N27.9430), and Chubda Tsho (E90.7058, N28.0213) in the middle and east sections of the Himalayas.
[0086] The advantage of the present application is that:
[0087] 1. The present application is based on the principle of the response of the small watershed downstream channel topography to the historical ice lake outburst and the repeated occurrence of the ice lake outburst disaster, and the ice lake outburst small watershed is identified according to the slope change of the longitudinal section along the channel direction and the U-shaped or V-shaped morphological change of the transverse section perpendicular to the channel direction and other topographic indexes. The method directly considers the continuous description and influence of the small watershed historical ice lake outburst on the topography, discards the dependence on the historical ice lake outburst record, and does not use the simple superposition of static indexes, but identifies the nonlinear response of the topography in the time scale, including the slope change and the valley type conversion. In addition, the method can also identify in a larger time and space scale, and determine the target area for the installation of the subsequent ice lake outburst monitoring instrument and the analysis of the long-term meteorological data of the ice lake. For example, when GLBN>1.62, it is recommended to arrange the radar flow meter and the vibration signal collector in the downstream channel of the ice lake, and pay attention to the change of the ice lake area in the small watershed and the extreme temperature and precipitation through the satellite, and form a “point-line-surface” key monitoring network. The method solves the technical problems of the strong dependence on the historical data of the existing identification method, the difficulty in carrying out the work in the uninhabited area and the certain limitation of the time and space scale, realizes the risk assessment in the data-free area, and breaks through the time and space limitation of the existing technology.
[0088] 2. The research object and scenario identified in this invention are quite unique. Because existing research shows that large-scale glacial lake outburst floods exhibit spatial repetition, scientific prediction of glacial lake outburst flood watersheds is particularly important at this stage, especially in high-altitude and cold engineering areas. Then, based on the geomorphological features of six typical glacial lake outburst flood watersheds in the central and eastern Himalayas, the significant differences in geomorphological features between the upstream and downstream of glacial lake outburst floods are studied, further determining the criteria used to characterize historical glacial lake outburst flood watersheds. and The indicators, and then the GLBN values are calculated to determine the identification threshold, which is conducive to more accurate and effective identification of glacial lake outburst watersheds.
[0089] 3. This invention sets the high-precision DEM elevation data to be obtainable from websites such as Geospatial Data Cloud (GDS) and ASTER GDEM, or even higher-precision DEM data obtained through field survey drones. Its advantages include multiple data sources adapting to more scenarios; in particular, the open-source DEM data is convenient, fast, and low-cost, overcoming the difficulty of field measurements in high-altitude, uninhabited areas.
[0090] 4. In this invention, the location of glacial lakes can be determined using optical imagery. For small watersheds with relatively small glacial lake areas, high-precision DEM data can be used to generate contour lines. The location of a glacial lake is indicated by a closed circular / elliptical lowland formed by these contour lines, located at the glacier terminus. Similarly, the location of channels can be determined using the "V"-shaped curvature of the contour lines. This ensures that the determination of glacial lake and channel locations is highly operable and reliable.
[0091] 5. This invention will The criteria for identifying a small watershed as having historically experienced glacial lake outburst floods are as follows: α is the weighting coefficient for the wide / narrow valley index, set to 1.2 here; β is the weighting coefficient for the channel slope index, set to 0.9 here; and γ is the comprehensive adjustment coefficient, set to 0.5 here. For details on the GLBN threshold and the basis for the values of each parameter, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 , Figure 4a , Figure 4b and Figure 4c and Figure 5 Glacial lakes meeting these conditions have a relatively high probability of future outburst flooding and are considered small glacial lake outburst flood basins. Specifically, The larger the value, the greater the slope of the downstream channel of the glacial lake along the channel direction. The smaller the value, the closer the valley shape of the downstream glacial lake in the vertical channel direction is to a V-shaped valley. and The threshold for the index is derived from 80% of the lowest values of the geomorphic characteristic parameters of six typical glacial lake outflow watersheds in the central and eastern Himalayas. Its advantages lie in combining the fundamental theories of repeatability of glacial lake outflow events and the feedback of geomorphology to the strong erosion caused by glacial lake outflow events found in existing studies, and in focusing on important indicators derived from field cases that can characterize the geomorphology of the upstream and downstream areas of glacial lake outflow events in both parallel and perpendicular river directions.
[0092] It should be noted that the identification method in this invention is applicable to glacial lake outburst watersheds developed in tributary gullies, which are the most widespread and fastest-growing type of glacial lake under the current climate warming background, especially in rapidly retreating monsoon maritime glacier areas. The identification method comprehensively considers the recurring nature of glacial lake outburst disasters and the long-term, continuous impact and characterization of glacial lake outbursts on the geomorphological evolution of small watersheds, thereby enabling early identification of glacial lake outburst watersheds in areas without historical records or in high-altitude uninhabited areas.
[0093] To verify the technical effects of the present invention, the Gongbatongsha Tso glacial lake outburst event that occurred on July 5, 2016, on the southern edge of the Himalayas is described in detail below:
[0094] A method for identifying glacial lake outburst flood basins based on gully geomorphological features includes the following steps:
[0095] S1. Taking the Zhangzangbu small watershed, where the Gongbatongshacuo Glacier Lake is located, as the research object, DEM elevation data with a resolution of 12.5m were obtained for the entire watershed. In addition, high-resolution remote sensing images of the small watershed were obtained through platforms such as Google Earth.
[0096] S2, such as Figure 2 As shown in the flowchart, the location of the glacial lake and the channel are determined based on high-precision DEM elevation data. Then, a longitudinal profile along the channel direction is obtained, and the slope upstream and downstream of the glacial lake along the channel direction is calculated. and Calculation results show that the slope of the upper reaches of the Gongbatongsha Lake in the Zhangzangbu small watershed... The downstream slope is 0.16. It is 0.20.
[0097] S3. Draw cross sections at 50m intervals upstream and downstream along the vertical channel direction, starting from the location of the glacial lake, and use y=ax b Function fitting of longitudinal profiles and calculation results show the geomorphic indicators of the upper reaches of Gongbatongsha Lake in the Zhangzangbu small watershed. The value is 1.30, and the downstream geomorphological index is... It is 0.93.
[0098] S4, According to the results of S2 and S3, the GLBN value of Zhangzangbu small watershed is 2.02, which is greater than 1.62, so Zhangzangbu gully can be determined as an ice lake outburst small watershed.

10. A system for identifying glacial lake outburst flood basins based on gully geomorphological features, characterized in that: The method for identifying glacial lake outburst watersheds based on gully geomorphological feature indicators according to any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the glacial lake outburst watershed identification system based on gully geomorphological feature indicators comprises: The data acquisition module is used to acquire elevation data and multi-period remote sensing image data within the identified small watershed ridgeline area; The location determination and calculation module is used to identify channels and glacial lakes based on multi-period remote sensing image data, then determine the location of channels and glacial lakes based on elevation data, then obtain longitudinal profiles along the channel direction based on elevation data, and calculate the average slope upstream of the glacial lake and the average slope downstream of the glacial lake along the channel direction. The b-value calculation module is used to draw cross-sections in the vertical channel direction, starting from the location of the glacial lake and the channel, and going upstream and downstream respectively, based on the location of the glacial lake and the channel. By fitting the cross-section data, the b-values upstream of the glacial lake in the vertical channel direction and downstream of the glacial lake in the vertical channel direction, which can characterize the U-shaped or V-shaped valley landform, are obtained. The identification module is used to calculate the GLBN value of the small watershed based on the average slope upstream and downstream of the glacial lake along the channel direction, as well as the b-values perpendicular to the channel direction upstream and downstream. ; in, The b value is the value upstream of the vertical channel direction. The value of b is the downstream value in the direction perpendicular to the channel. The average slope of the upper reaches of the glacial lake along the channel direction. The average slope of the downstream of the glacial lake along the channel direction is α, which is the weighting coefficient of the wide valley and narrow valley index, β is the weighting coefficient of the channel slope index, and γ is the comprehensive adjustment coefficient. When the GLBN value is greater than the identification threshold, the small watershed is determined to be a glacial lake outburst watershed.
