刘耕年 2014-01 项目
Modern glaciers and Quaternary glacial landforms widely distribute in the Himalayas, it already become one the the most important research area on Quaternary glaciations and environmental evolution. This proposal selects the area around summit Pauhunri and summit Chomolhari, focus on the Quaternary glacial remains, use professional field investigation to landforms and sediments, and sample collection, with the combination of remote sensing and DEM data, GPS and GIS techniques, to set up dependable glacial landform and deposit sequences, use multiple dating techniques of 14C, OSL, TCN exposure and burying, and ESR etc, to establish constrained chronology of Quaternary glaciation in the research area. By means of synthetical integration of other results on Quaternary environmental change with new achievement of this project, the expectation is to discuss the startup and driving factors of the glaciation in the Himalaya areas, to acquire new knowledge about Late Quaternary glacial chronology and environmental evolution mechanism.
喜马拉雅山发育大规模现代冰川,古冰川遗迹亦十分丰富,是探讨青藏高原第四纪冰川发生、演化及驱动机制的重要区域。本项目选取位于西藏亚东县泡罕里峰和卓木拉日峰地区的第四纪冰川遗迹为研究对象,通过传统的野外地貌-沉积调查、采样,结合遥感、DEM影像资料和GPS、GIS技术,建立可靠的冰川地貌与沉积系列。应用14C、OSL、TCN暴露及埋藏年龄、ESR等多种测年方法对冰期系列进行综合定年,给出可靠的冰川演化绝对年代序列。将本研究与青藏高原第四纪环境演化的其他成果进行综合集成,深入探讨高原南部冰川发育和演化的驱动因素,在晚第四纪冰川年代学与环境演化机制等方面获得创新成果。
