摘要

Abstract

Seeking for an effective method to probe further the relation among Tibetan Plateau

climatic events

and natural environmental changes in the Zoige Basin

we proposed a physical model for the reconstruction of climate and environment and a preliminary application was conducted on the 45 m (about 200 ka BP)

upper part of Core RM (310 m long) drilled in the Zoige Basin (33°57’N

102°21’E)

on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that: a) in the Zoige region

the maximum temperature in the period equivalent to Stage 7 in the deep-sea stable oxygen record was 2.7°C higher than that at present; b) Stage 6 temperature was 4.3°C lower than that at present; c) Stage 5 peak temperature was 5.2°C higher that that at present; d) Stage 4 average temperature should have been 2–3°C lower than that at present; and e) Stage 3 temperature differences within the period were more than 4°C. It was found that during Stage 6 (140–160 ka BP) the environment in the Zoige Basin was extraordinary

representing a transition period from warm-dry and cold-wet to warm-wet and cold-dry environmental conditions due to the uplift that occurred on the Tibetan Plateau at this period.
