Dynamic Characteristics of Suspended Load and Bed Load Transport in Meltwater Runoff of Qiyi Glacier
[Objective] The transportation of sediment via glacial meltwater can not only reflect the glacial erosion and landform evolution
but also is one of the important sediment sources for the downstream river. Thus
understanding the suspended sediment and bedload dynamics in glacier meltwater runoff on the Tibetan Plateau is significant for predicting glacier landform evolution and conducting downstream disaster prevention and mitigation efforts. [Methods] To achieve the goal
the variations of flow discharge
sediment concentration of suspended load
and bed load transport rate per unit width were monitored at the downstream channel of Qiyi Glacier in the Qilian Mountains from August 11 to 24
2023. Based on the observed data
the relationship curves of flow discharge-water level
sediment concentration of suspended load-flow discharge
and unit bed load transport rate-flow shear stress were developed to obtain the variations of both water flow and sediment transport throughout the study period. [Results] The sediment concentration of suspended load and the bed load transport rate in the downstream channel of Qiyi Glacier are predominantly influenced by the variations in meltwater runoff
exhibiting pronounced daily fluctuations. The daily nadir of suspended sediment concentration is observed around 10:00
while the acme occurs around 16:00. The median particle size of the sediments is approximately 0.3 mm
indicating a fine-grained sediment composition. The variation trend of bed load transport rate versus time is almost the same to the suspended load
excepting at 05:00-09:00. During this period
there is no bed load in the channel since the flow shear stress is insufficient to mobilize and transport the bed load. Note that the median particle size of bed load is about 12 mm. The sediment transport in the downstream channel of Qiyi Glacier is primarily dominated by suspended sediment
and the daily sediment transport amount of bedload is much smaller than that of suspended sediment
accounting for only 1.73%~2.81% of the daily sediment transport amount of suspended sediment. Air temperature of glacier is a critical factor influencing the flow discharge of glacier meltwater
the sediment concentration of suspended load
and the transport rate of bed load. Moreover
as air temperature of glacier rises
both the flow discharge and suspended sediment concentration display linear increasing trends
while the bed load transport rate exhibits an exponential increase. [Conclusion] This implies that
in future climate change scenarios
where the flow discharge of glacier meltwater increases
the suspended and bed loads transport within the Qiyi Glacier meltwater will become more significant and deserve more attentions.
