Abstract:

The sandstorm is the most damaged disaster in the Qinghai-Tibet railway. Three most sand-damaged sections, Cona Lake, Tuotuohe (Ulan Moron) and Beiluhe, are even more critical. Based on the data integration between the filed surveying and QuickBird and Google Earth images, the Aeolian Sand Mapping was developed. The Aeolian sand mapping dataset is consisted of photos on the sand distribution in three special areas; seolian sand mapping data in Tuotuohe, Cona Lake and Beiluhe areas. The classification system of the agenda of the Aeolian sand mapping is consisted of two levels, 6 types in the first level and 18 types in the second level. The dataset is archived in the .shp and .jpg data formats with the data size of 7.98MB. The analysis paper was published in the Journal of Arid Land Geography, No.4, Vol. 38, 2015.
