| Abstract | Numerical simulations of groundwater flow and heat transport are used to provide insight into the interaction between shallow groundwater flow and thermal dynamics related to permafrost thaw and thaw settlement at the Iqaluit Airport taxiway, Nunavut, Canada. A conceptual model is first developed for the site and a corresponding two-dimensional numerical model is calibrated to the observed ground temperatures. Future climate-warming impacts on the thermal regime and flow system are then simulated based on climate scenarios proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Under climate warming, surface snow cover is identified as the leading factor affecting permafrost degradation, including its role in increasing the sensitivity of permafrost degradation to changes in various hydrogeological factors. In this case, advective heat transport plays a relatively minor, but non-negligible, role compared to conductive heat transport, due to the significant extent of low-permeability soil close to surface. Conductive heat transport, which is strongly affected by the surface snow layer, controls the release of unfrozen water and the depth of the active layer as well as the magnitude of thaw settlement and frost heave. Under the warmest climate-warming scenario with an average annual temperature increase of 3.23 °C for the period of 2011–2100, the simulations suggest that the maximum depth of the active layer will increase from 2 m in 2012 to 8.8 m in 2100 and, over the same time period, thaw settlement along the airport taxiway will increase from 0.11 m to at least 0.17 m.Des simulations numériques de l’écoulement d’eaux souterraines et du transfert de chaleur sont utilisées pour éclairer la connaissance de l’interaction entre l’écoulement de la nappe phréatique et la dynamique thermique relative au dégel du pergélisol et au tassement dû au dégel sur les pistes de l’Aéroport d’Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. Un modèle conceptuel du site est d’abord développé et le modèle numérique bidimensionnel correspondant est calé à partir des températures observées du sol. Les impacts futurs du réchauffement climatique sur le régime thermique et le système d’écoulement sont ensuite simulés sur la base des scénarios climatiques proposés par le Groupe Intergouvernemental sur l’Evolution du Cimat (GIEC). Dans le cadre d’un réchauffement climatique, la couverture neigeuse de surface est identifiée comme le facteur principal affectant la dégradation du pergélisol, y compris par son rôle dans l’accroissement de la sensibilité de la dégradation du pergélisol aux changements de divers facteurs hydrogéologiques. Dans ce cas, le transfert de chaleur par advection joue un rôle relativement mineur, quoique non négligeable, vis-à-vis du transfert de chaleur par conduction, du fait de l’extension importante d’un sol de faible perméabilité à proximité de la surface. Le transfert de chaleur par convection, qui est fortement influencé par la couche de neige superficielle, contrôle la libération de l’eau non gelée et la profondeur de la couche active aussi bien que l’amplitude du tassement et du soulèvement par le dégel. Dans le scénario d’un réchauffement climatique maximal, avec un accroissement de la température annuelle moyenne de 3.23 °C sur la période 2011–2100, les simulations suggèrent que la profondeur maximale de la couche active augmentera de 2 m en 2012 à 8.80 m en 2100 et que, dans le même laps de temps, le tassement dû au dégel sur les pistes de l’aéroport va croître de 0.11 m à au moins 0.17 m.Las simulaciones numéricas del flujo de agua subterránea y del transporte de calor se utilizan para proporcionar una visión de la interacción entre el flujo de agua subterránea somera y la dinámica térmica relacionada con el deshielo del permafrost y el asentamiento por deshielo en la pista del aeropuerto de Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canadá. Primero se desarrolla un modelo conceptual para el sitio y se calibra un modelo numérico bidimensional correspondiente a las temperaturas observadas del terreno. Los impactos futuros del calentamiento climático sobre el régimen térmico y el sistema de flujo se simulan a partir de los escenarios climáticos propuestos por el Panel Intergubernamental sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC). Bajo el calentamiento climático, la cubierta de nieve superficial se identifica como el factor principal que afecta la degradación del permafrost, incluyendo su papel en el aumento de la sensibilidad de la degradación del permafrost a los cambios en diversos factores hidrogeológicos. En este caso, el transporte de calor advectivo juega un papel relativamente menor, pero no despreciable comparado con el transporte conductivo del calor, debido a la extensión significativa de un suelo de baja permeabilidad cerca de la superficie. El transporte conductivo de calor, fuertemente afectado por la capa de nieve superficial, controla la liberación de agua sin congelar y la profundidad de la capa activa, así como la magnitud del asentamiento por deshielo y del levantamiento de la helada. Bajo el escenario de calentamiento climático más cálido con un aumento medio anual de la temperatura de 3.23 °C para el período 2011–2100, las simulaciones sugieren que la profundidad máxima de la capa activa aumentará de 2 m en 2012 a 8.8 m en 2100 y, en el mismo período de tiempo, el asentamiento por deshielo a lo largo de la pista del aeropuerto aumentará de 0.11 m a por lo menos 0.17 m.针对加拿大努勒维特地区伊魁特机场永久冻土消融和消融沉陷,利用地下水流和热传输数值模拟深入了解了浅层地下水流和热动力学之间的相互关系。在本研究区第一次建立了概念模型,并根据观测的地面温度对相应的二维数值模型进行了校准。然后,根据政府间气候变化专门委员会提出的不同气候方案,模拟了未来气候变暖对热动态和水流系统的影响。在气候变暖情况下,确认了地表雪层是影响永久冻土退化的主要因素,包括确认了永久冻土退化对各种水文地质因素变化的灵敏度增加中的作用。在这种情况下,与传导热传输相比,平流热传输发挥着相对小的、但不可忽略的作用,这是因为接近地表的低渗透性土壤的范围很大。传导热传输很大程度上受到地表雪层的影响,传导热传输控制着未冻水的释出和活跃层的深度以及消融沉陷和冻胀的量级。在2011年至2100年间年平均温度增加3.23°C的最温暖的气候变暖条件下,模拟结果显示,活跃层的最大深度将从2012年的2米增加到2100年的8.8米,在相同的时间段内,沿机场滑行道消融沉陷将从0.11米增加到至少0.17米。Simulações numéricas de fluxo de águas subterrâneas e transporte são utilizadas para fornecer informação sobre a interação entre o fluxo raso de água subterrânea e a dinâmica termal relacionadas a degelo de pergelissolos e subsidência por degelo na pista de pouso do Aeroporto de Iqaluit, em Nunavut, Canadá. Um modelo conceitual é primeiramente desenvolvido para o local e um modelo bidimensional correspondente é calibrado para as temperaturas observadas em solo. Futuros impactos do aquecimento climático no regime termal e no sistema de fluxo são simulados baseados em cenários climáticos propostos pelo Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC). Sob influência de aquecimento climático, a cobertura de neve superficial é identificada como o principal fator que afeta a degradação dos pergelissolos, incluindo o seu papel no aumento da sensibilidade da degradação dos pergelissolos em relação à mudança em diferentes fatores hidrogeológicos. Nesse caso, transporte advectivo de calor possui um papel relativamente menor, mas não negligenciável, comparado ao transporte de calor por condutividade, devido a extensão significante de solos de baixa permeabilidade próximos à superfície. Transporte de calor por condutividade, que é fortemente afetado pela camada superficial de neve, controla a liberação de água não congelada e a profundidade da camada ativa assim como a magnitude da subsidência por degelo e da expansão por congelamento. Nos cenários mais quentes de aquecimento climático com temperaturas anuais de 3.23 °C para o período de 2011–2100, as simulações sugerem que a máxima profundidade da camada ativa aumentará de 2 metros em 2012 para 8.8 metros em 2100, e durante o mesmo período de tempo, a subsidência por degelo ao longo da pista de pouso do aeroporto aumentará de 0.11 metros para pelo menos 0.17 metros. |
