黄土地貌继承性研究是揭示黄土地貌二百余万年来发育、演化机理的关键环节,也是黄土地貌研究的重要关注点。前人对黄土地貌继承性及相关问题进行了较多的研究,初步探讨了第三纪古地形对当今黄土地貌形成的控制作用。但是,目前对黄土地貌继承性的成因机理、影响程度及区域差异性等问题尚未形成共识。数字高程模拟(DEM)及基于DEM的数字地形分析,为在GIS平台下实现地表形态的定量描述与分析提供了新的思想和方法。如果能够建立第三纪黄土下伏古地形的数字高程模型,从而构建地表-地下一体化的双层的数字高程模拟,就可望通过运用GIS复合分析等多种空间分析方法,有效揭示黄土地貌继承性研究中的科学问题,实现黄土地貌研究的理论突破与方法创新。研究首先分析了黄土地貌继承性的概念模型。其地形面的DEM、地质图以及钻孔物探资料为依据,重建了三种空间尺度的黄土堆积前原始地形面的DEM,进而构建了地表-地下一体化的“双层地形模型”。并据此模型,通过面积高程积分、坡向变异特征、地形剖面比降及地形剖面凸凹度等方法与指标,分析现今地形与古地形的空间关系,获得在下伏古地形控制作用下,黄土堆积对地表起伏变化、地貌发育变化及黄土地貌空间分异格局的新认识。
