The Institute of Mountain Disaster and Environmental Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Environmental Research Institute judged that the size of the Bingnu Glacier during the Ludian Earthquake was not large, and the possibility of disaster or further forming a disaster chain was less likely.
According to Chinanews.com, Liu Qiao, a researcher at the Institute of Chengdu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter that the Luding earthquake is located near Battalion No. 1 Battalion of Hailuogou, which is from the main peak of Gongga Mountain.The straight line distance is about 18 kilometers, and the Hailuo Gloss and abrasive Glacier is closer to the Hailuo Gulf glacier and abrasive gap.According to the comparison of the sentinel No. 2 image before and after the earthquake, there were also several traces of ice/avalanche on the upper reaches of the Mozigou Glacier on the north side of the Hailu Gougap.
Liu Qiao said that at present, the size of the ice collapse of the Hailou Glacier during the Luding earthquake is not large.A good buffer is less likely to initially evaluate the disaster caused by Bingnan or further form a disaster chain.
Liu Qiao said that due to the severe damage of the earthquake on the road of conch, it was difficult to get through in the short term, and it was impossible to enter the scene to carry out detailed glacier changes.Dynamic observation.
Liu Qiao said that according to multiple monitoring camera data located around the glacier before the earthquake observation station, there was a snowfall in the area of 3,000 meters above the upper reaches of the Hailuogou Basin from September 4th to 5th.Coupled with the recent continuous high temperature weather impact, the upstream of the earthquake in the earthquake should be intensified before and after the occurrence of the earthquake, and the motion of ice -cutting landform disturbances should be increased.In the later period, continuous monitoring is required, and combined with field surveys in the wild to comprehensively evaluate the impact of the disaster and water changes that may be caused by the abnormal glaciers.
