Full textThis thesis is based on a diffusion-dynamic theory that predicts a low velocity displacement wave, called a soliton wave, propagating in liquid-saturated porous media with velocity ~100-300 m/s, analogous to a tsunami that travels with the loss of little energy. This is hypothesized to be the mechanism for energy transfer that could be sufficient to promote changes in local pore pressure and therefore to alter the ambient effective stresses. It is also hypothesized that a soliton wave packet is emitted by a primary seismic event and may trigger sympathetic secondary earthquakes at a remote distance, fluid level fluctuation in wells, changes in geyser eruption behaviour, and changes in microseismic frequency, amplitude and patterns in appropriate places (e. g. under water reservoirs, in areas of active hydrothermalism, in tectonically active areas, and so on).
This thesis undertakes a review of some of these phenomena, and finds that the evidence as to what is the triggering mechanism is not clear. Also, it appears that the soliton hypothesis is not at all disproved by the data, and there may be some evidence of its existence.
To reveal the evidence of this kind of wave (soliton) in nature, real sequence and K-Q cases velocity data bases of earthquake interactions in the year of 2003 have been constructed by using information from Incorporated Seismological Research Institute (IRIS). The qualitative and quantitative analysis demonstrates that interactions between seismological and hydrological systems due to soliton waves are a definite possibility. However, the growth of fluid fluxes, geysers eruption and remote seismicity are controlled by both the principal stresses and the pore pressure. Hence, this interaction depends on the hydromechanical properties of rock such as permeability, compressibilities, and viscosities of fluids, saturations, and porosity. Perhaps the strongest argument in favour of a low-velocity soliton trigger is that the other seismic waves seem to be inadequate, and there is no evidence for their actions as a trigger.
The practice of detection and analysis of a soliton is not undertaken in this work. Because current devices are incapable to measure such a wave as they are on the surface and insensitive to liquid-solid coupling, sensitive and precise sensors in the low frequency range must be installed within the liquid saturated zone, preferably under the water table, to advance further work.

Full textExamensarbetet syftade till att undersöka hur olika aktörer genomför hydrologiska mätningar i Sverige. Målgrupper för studien var aktörer vars verksamhet innefattar mätningar av vattenföring och vattenstånd. De målgrupper som identifierades var vattenråd, kommunala VA-avdelningar, vattenmyndigheter och vattenkraftbolag. När aktörerna identifierats undersöktes hur, var och varför aktörerna mäter samt hur de uppfattar noggrannheter i sina mätningar. Informationen samlades in genom frågeformulär och intervjuer. Totalt kontaktades 447 aktörer varav 260 svarade på frågorna som ställdes. Majoriteten, 209 aktörer svarade att de inte utför några hydrologiska mätningar medan resterande svarande att de mäter vattenstånd. Den anledning som flest aktörer gav till att de mäter var att de har en vattendom. Det var även flera aktörer som mätte för att försäkra sig om att recipienter för dagvatten och avloppsreningsverk hade tillräckligt högt vattenstånd för utsläpp. Vattenkraftproducenterna svarade att de, utöver att de har vattendomar, använder vattenståndsdata för att reglera kraftverken. De beräknade också vattenföringen utifrån lucköppningsgrad, vattenstånd och producerad effekt. Det var även sju kommuner som svarade att de hade implementerat modeller för översvämningsövervakning och använde vattenståndsmätningar som indata i prognosmodellerna. Dessa kommuner och två ytterligare aktörer svarade att de mäter vattenföring eller använder avbördningskurvor men i flera fall är kontrollmätningar av vattenföringen bristande. De flesta aktörerna använde tryckgivare för att mäta vattenståndet och de gav noggrannhetsintervall mellan ± 1 mm och ± 5 cm. Endast fem aktörer uppgav att de avväger mätinstrumentet vilket är en förutsättning för att upprätthålla en korrekt mätserie. Resultaten är användbar information i SMHIs utvärdering av sitt nätverk av hydrologiska mätstationer, dock skulle fortsatta försök att få svar från samtliga kontaktade aktörer ge en mer heltäckande bild av hydrologiska mätningar utförda av de olika målgrupperna. Det vore även intressant med en studie som går djupare in på hur noggrannhet uppskattas och uppfattas av de olika aktörerna.

Full textThe energy exchange systems during icing layer formation involve two ice water interfaces and some intra-layer water flow. Using energy balance analysis, this research finds that the outgoing energy components can be ranked according to their importance, with sensible heat being the most important component, radiation heat loss being of secondary importance, and latent heat loss being the least important factor. Further, this research illustrates that the heat conduction between the underlying ice and a newly formed icing layer is time dependent. For example, during the first half cycle of icing layer formation, heat is conducted into the underlying ice, but during the second half of the cycle the heat is conducted in an opposite direction.
During icing layer formation, the energy input is supplied mainly by water and incoming solar radiation. Intra-layer running water provides a significant amount of energy when air temperatures are milder, but its significance decreases when air temperatures become colder. Solar radiation during the day may also play an important role in the energy supply regime.
River icing formation involves several hydrological processes. The location of a river icing is basically controlled by the channel slope. The damming effect of icing mass plays a significant role in the extension of the icing body, especially in the upstream direction. River icings grow slowly, and generally experience three stages of development, namely the 'freeze-up' stage, 'obstruction' stage and 'overflow' stage, the third stage dominating icing growth. The formation of each icing layer is virtually a small-scale reproduction of these three stages. The model simulation shows that the thickness of icing accumulation increases with an increase in the initial water depth in the channel, but simulation also shows that there is a limiting threshold. The thickness of icing accumulation decreases when the initial channel water depth exceeds this threshold.
The growth of an icing is an event-dominated discontinuous process. Even during one icing layer formation, simultaneous growth occurs only within a very limited distance. At a specific location, icing growth is related temporally only over a short period of time. As a discontinuous process, icing spreading and thickening during an overflow event depends entirely on the climatic and topographical conditions.
Even though icing layering is influenced by many variables, under small discharge rates, as in the case of ground icing growth, statistical analyses show that the mean spreading length of an overflow event can be described efficiently by five variables: discharge, the temperature of the water, the product of air temperature and wind speed, air temperature and the icing surface slope previous to overflow. The maximum spreading length, however, may only be controlled by four variables: discharge, water temperature, air temperature and the product of air temperature and wind speed. Under field conditions, when wind speed is not measured, this wind related variable may be dropped with only a small decrease in confidence level.

Full textThis thesis, through a collection of five publications, describes and quantifies steep (gravel bed) channel ice processes. Before this research project was undertaken the literature on the topic was largely incomplete and ice processes taking place in gravel bed channels, which represent common cold region fluvial settings, could only be partly explained. Ice features forming along steep channels and described in the thesis include anchor ice accumulations, ice weirs, ice dams, icing fields, icing dikes, suspended ice covers, and spray ice shells. This thesis also approaches river ice breakup processes such as ice runs and ice jams. The findings presented in this work are the result of three winters of field observation and steep channels monitoring. Research sites were visited over 120 times, mostly during the winter period. Ice processes were not only described and monitored at a few sites but at the drainage system scale, from a small headwater channel down to the main river channel. The thermal, cryologic, and hydrological interactions between various steep channels of the Montmorency River watershed were analyzed. These links form what is referred to as the watershed continuum. Each chapter of this thesis is an independent publication that includes an introduction, a literature review, a conclusion, and a list of references. The first four articles present a topic that complements previous chapters. The sum of these chapters forms a comprehensive review of the ice processes taking place in steep channels as the qualitative description progressively evolves into a quantitative analysis. The last chapter (article) presents a global conceptual model on river ice types and processes taking place in any fluvial setting in any climate.

Full textL'objectiu de la tesi doctoral és millorar la caracterització dels processos hidrològics de les conques mediterrànies de muntanya utilitzant mesures hidrològiques distribuïdes i traçadors ambientals, amb la finalitat de comprendre'n el funcionament hidrològic. Durant el període 2009-2013 es van recollir dades hidrològiques de les conques d'investigació de Vallcebre, monitoritzades des de 1996 pel grup d’Hidrologia Superficial i Erosió del IDAEA-CSIC. Les dades inclouen, a més a més de registres de precipitacions i cabal, mesures hidrològiques distribuïdes i de dades de traçadors ambientals (geoquímics i isotòpics) a diferents escales temporals (estacional i d'esdeveniment). A partir d’aquesta informació s'ha analitzat, en primer lloc, la dinàmica espaciotemporal del nivell freàtic durant els episodis de pluja. Els resultats mostren que, durant aquests episodis, el nivell freàtic no reacciona de manera homogènia a tota la conca. La variabilitat espaial del nivell freàtic està molt afectada per les característiques de la localització de cada piezòmetre, especialment la distància al torrent, que té un paper essencial en la distribució de les condicions d'humitat de la conca. Aquestes condicions d'humitat, a la vegada, afecten al temps de resposta del nivell freàtic i a la magnitud de la resposta hidrològica. Segons les condicions d'humitat de la conca, la variabilitat espaciotemporal del nivell freàtic durant esdeveniments és diferent. En condicions seques, la variabilitat espaciotemporal del nivell freàtic és alta al llarg de tot l'esdeveniment. L'escolament es genera principalment per la contribució de les àrees que estan a prop del torrent. En canvi, en condicions de transició i especialment en condicions d'humitat, la variabilitat espaciotemporal del nivell freàtic és menor i respon de forma més ràpida, i produeix una resposta hidrològica major a escala de conca. Tot seguit, s'ha analitzat la dinàmica de la concentració de carboni orgànic dissolt (DOC) en diferents compartiments hidrològics (aigua de pluja, aigua del sòl, aigua subterrània i aigua del torrent) i a diferents escales temporals (estacional i d'esdeveniment). Els resultats mostren una variació estacional de la concentració de DOC a l'aigua de pluja i a la del sòl; però no s'aprecia aquesta estacionalitat a l'aigua subterrània i a la del torrent, a causa de que la concentració de DOC als dos compartiments està relacionada amb la dinàmica del nivell freàtic i la del cabal. A escala d’esdeveniment s'observa un augment sistemàtic de la concentració de DOC al torrent. A més a més, en els esdeveniments de diversos pics de cabal el pendent de la relació cabal/concentració de DOC sempre és major al primer pic. Aquest augment de la concentració de DOC al cabal durant els esdeveniments suggereix una contribució rellevant de l’aigua del sòl, però també l'existència de fonts de DOC pròximes al torrent o del mateix llit del torrent. D'altra banda, la relativa semblança de la dinàmica del DOC en el torrent durant esdeveniments de diferent magnitud i amb processos hidrològics contrastats molt diferents, planteja la qüestió de l'origen de l'augment de DOC i el seu possible ús com a traçador. Per últim, s'ha realitzat el càlcul del temps mitjà de trànsit (MTT) de l'aigua als diferents compartiments hidrològics de la conca utilitzant, primer, els isòtops estables (δ18O i δ2H), i segon, el triti. L'ús de la variació del senyal isotòpic del δ18O a l'aigua de pluja i a diferents compartiments d'aigua mostrejats presenta limitacions a la conca d'estudi; únicament permet demostrar que el MTT de les aigües és major de dos anys. L'ús d'una nova metodologia (TEPMGLUE) per calcular el MTT, utilitzant el triti, permet considerar diferents fonts d'incertesa i avaluar l'ús de mostres d'edats diferents i de diferent precisió analítica. Els resultats revelen que s'obtenen valors de MTT similars, tant utilitzant mostres dels anys noranta, com totes les mostres disponibles (1996-1998 i 2013). En canvi, quan únicament es calcula el MTT utilitzant les mostres del 2013 s'obtenen dos valors de MTT molt diferents. Els resultats de l’estudi també mostren que a les conques de Vallcebre l'aigua més jove és la dels pous, seguida de l'aigua del torrents i la de les fonts. L'estudi també demostra el paper rellevant de la funció d'entrada de triti amb la pluja per calcular el MTT. Per últim, els resultats suggereixen que la topografia no afecta la distribució espaial del MTT de la conca, però sí la geologia. Tots els resultats d'aquesta tesi aporten informació addicional sobre el funcionament hidrològic de les conques de Vallcebre, i a més a més suggereixen noves línies d'investigació
El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es mejorar la caracterización de los procesos hidrológicos de las cuencas Mediterráneas de montaña, utilizando mediciones hidrológicas distribuidas y trazadores ambientales, con la finalidad de comprender mejor su funcionamiento hidrológico. Durante el período 2009-2013 se recogieron datos hidrológicos de las cuencas de investigación de Vallcebre, monitorizadas desde 1996 por el grupo de Hidrología superficial y Erosión del IDAEA-CSIC. Los datos incluyen, además del registro de precipitaciones y caudales, mediciones hidrológicas distribuidas y datos de trazadores ambientales (geoquímicos e isotópicos) a diferentes escalas temporales (estacional y de crecida). Con esta información, se ha analizado en primer lugar la dinámica espacio-temporal del nivel freático durante las crecidas. Los resultados muestran que durante las crecidas el nivel freático no reacciona de forma homogénea en toda la cuenca. La variabilidad espacial del nivel freático está muy afectada por las características de la localización de cada piezómetro, especialmente la distancia al cauce que tiene un papel esencial en la distribución de las condiciones de humedad de la cuenca. Estas condiciones de humedad, a su vez, afectan al tiempo de respuesta del nivel freático y a la magnitud de la respuesta hidrológica. Según las condiciones de humedad de la cuenca la variabilidad espacio-temporal del nivel freático durante la crecida es diferente. En condiciones secas la variabilidad espacio-temporal del nivel freático es alta a lo largo de toda la crecida. En estas condiciones, la escorrentía se genera principalmente por la contribución de las áreas próximas al cauce. En cambio, en condiciones de transición y especialmente en condiciones húmedas, la variabilidad espacio-temporal del nivel freático es menor y su respuesta es mas rápida, produciendo una mayor respuesta hidrológica en la cuenca. Seguidamente, se ha analizado la dinámica de la concentración del carbono orgánico disuelto (DOC) en diferentes compartimentos (agua de lluvia, agua del suelo, agua subterránea y agua del cauce) a diferentes escalas temporales (estacional y de crecida). Los resultados indican una variación estacional de la concentración de DOC en el agua de lluvia y en la del suelo. Sin embargo, no se aprecia esta estacionalidad en el agua subterránea y en la del cauce, debido a que la concentración de DOC en estos compartimentos está relacionada con la dinámica del nivel freático y del caudal. Durante las crecidas se observa un aumento sistemático de la concentración de DOC en el cauce. Además en las crecidas con varios picos de caudal el pendiente de la relación caudal/concentración de DOC es siempre mayor en el primer pico. El aumento de la concentración de DOC en el cauce durante las crecidas sugiere una contribución relevante del agua del suelo, pero también la existencia de fuentes de DOC próximas al cauce o en el mismo lecho. La relativa similitud de la dinámica del DOC en el cauce durante eventos de distinta magnitud y con procesos hidrológicos contrastados muy distintos, plantea la cuestión del origen del aumento de DOC y su posible utilización como trazador. Por último, se ha realizado el cálculo del tiempo medio de transito (MTT) del agua, en diferentes compartimentos hidrológicos de la cuenca utilizando, primero, isótopos estables (δ18O y δ2H), y después el tritio. El uso de la variación de la señal isotópica del δ18O en el agua de lluvia y en los diferentes compartimentos de agua muestreados muestra sus limitaciones en la cuenca de estudio; solo permite demostrar que el MTT es mayor de dos años. El uso de una nueva metodología (TEPMGLUE) para calcular el MTT usando el tritio, permite considerar diferentes fuentes de incertidumbre y evaluar el uso de muestras de edades diferentes y con distinta precisión analítica. Los resultados revelan que se obtienen valores de MTT similares, tanto utilizando muestras de los años noventa, como todas las muestras disponibles (1996-1998 y 2013). Sin embargo, cuando se calcula el MTT utilizando solo muestras del 2013 se obtienen dos valores de MTT muy distintos. Los resultados de MTT muestran que en las cuencas de Vallcebre el agua es más jóven en los pozos, seguida del agua de los cauces y la de las fuentes. El estudio también demuestra el papel relevante de la función de entrada de tritio en la lluvia para el cálculo del MTT. Por último, los resultados sugieren que la topografía no afecta la distribución espacial del MTT en la cuenca, pero sí la geología. Todos los resultados de esta tesis aportan información adicional sobre el funcionamiento hidrológico de las cuencas de Vallcebre, además sugieren nuevas líneas de investigación.

Full textThe evaluation of hydrological models is typically based on comparisons of observed and sim-ulated streamflow time series using performance metrics such as the Nash-Sutcli˙e Eÿciency. Although it provides relevant measures of the predictive performance of a model, this type of approach provides very little information on the reasons behind good or bad performance. Instead, Gupta et al. (2008) proposed to use hydrological signatures which are indicators that characterize catchment behaviors. Because they can be related to hydrological processes, using them when comparing observation with simulation enable the evaluation of the model while o˙ering diagnostics, i.e. indications on the hydrological processes that are well or badly repre-sented in the model.In this PhD thesis, we focus on the interpretations and diagnostic power of hydrological signatures and how they can be used to guide the improvement of a distributed model. We present the building of a set of hydrological signatures, using only widely available data – pre-cipitation, streamflow and air temperature – to characterize the hydrological functioning of 4 Ardèche sub-catchments (South East of France) and 10 snow dominated catchments of the Southern Sierra mountains (California, USA). Already existing and new hydrological signatures are selected and/or designed. Collectively, they can characterize catchment behavior in a wide variety of hydro-climatic contexts. We demonstrate the value of additional snow measurements to evaluate the information content of snow dedicated hydrological signatures. In the context of the Ardèche catchment, we set up the J2000 distributed model and use a sensitivity analysis to understand how the hydrological signatures are linked to the model parameters. This provides insights into how they are to be interpreted in the context of the J2000 Ardèche model and allows the assessment of their diagnostic power. Finally, combining the results of the sensi-tivity analysis with comparisons between observed and simulated hydrological signatures, we undertake an in-depth diagnostic of the model to provide and test recommendations for its improvement. Deficiencies of the model functioning are identified, mainly related to soil and groundwater storage and fluxes, highlighting issues in the spatial representation of soil and geological properties

The focus of this thesis is hydrological disasters and the question it attempts to answer is: how can we design and implement housing structures along U.S. coastlines that fully withstand hydrological disasters? Priority and severity is shown by increasing trends in natural disaster occurrence frequency and damage and reconstruction costs. Cost increase is due in part because disaster events are more destructive, but also because of overbuilding and high housing density located within high risk areas. First, using several literature sources, this thesis analyzes various aspects of natural disaster response and education. This paper achieves its goal to increase awareness about the flaws in government risk management and lack of disaster awareness and mitigation design curricula amongst architecture institutions. As a design thesis, alternative housing models are presented in the later sections. The design process begins with hazard-risk identification and then outlining important building regulations. FEMA Coastal Construction Manual along with other sources were useful in understanding necessary mitigation measures required for coastal development designs. After research, a new design solution is presented. Design inspiration was drawn from similar technology and the need for innovative, resilient, and economical designs. This thesis hopes to use idealized designs to start more conversation about natural disaster defensive architecture.

Full textWasserresourcenforschung, Erdsystem- und Klimamodellierung sowie integrierte Modellierung (z.B. Klimafolgenforschung) erfordern das Koppeln von hydrologischen und meteorologischen Modellen. Dieser Artikel präsentiert Konzepte für eine solche Kopplung. Er zeigt die zu lösenden Schwierigkeiten auf und gibt einen kurzen Überblick über bisher realisierte Kopplungen. Ferner stellt er ein Konzept für einen hydrometeorologischen Moduls zur Kopplung von hydrologischen mit meteorologischen Modellen vor.
