Late Quaternary paleoclimatic and geomorphological evolution at the interface between the Menyuan basin and the Qilian Mountains, northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Abstract: The Tibetan Plateau is regarded as an amplifier and driver of environmental change in adjacent regions because of its extent and high altitude. However, reliable age control for paleoenvironmental information on the plateau is limited. OSL appears to be a valid method to constrain the age of deposits of glacial and fluvial origin, soils and periglacial structures in the Menyuan basin on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Dating results show glaciers advanced extensively to the foot of the Qilian mountains at~21… Show more

“…Furthermore, an ice-rafted origin is in agreement with the deposition of units U1 during cold periods. In addition, Wang et al (2013) argue that the coarse-grained fluvial deposits (T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7) and periods of fluvial deposition (at top) with climatic evolution recorded by the grain-size record of loess deposits at GL (gray) and YZ (red) (Lu et al, 2004b) in the NETP (locations in Fig. 1B).…”

“…For example, mean annual temperature during the LGM was 7-9°°C lower than at present, which caused extensive glacier expansion (Wang et al, 2013). Thus, the river catchments in the region are highly suited for studying the coupled impact of tectonic movements and climate changes on fluvial morphological development and the sedimentary architecture of fluvial deposits.…”

“…It is followed by downcutting due to increased snow-and ice-melt at deglaciation under stable or decreasing sediment supply, as shown by field measurements (Marren and Toomath, 2013). However, a similar system is also present in periglacial-temperate alternations largely due to the effect of re-appearance of vegetation on a bare landscape (Vandenberghe et al, 1984;Vandenberghe, 1993aVandenberghe, , 1995a, and similarly in monsoonal and (sub-)tropical environments (Bridgland and Westaway, 2008;Vandenberghe et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2013;Pan et al 2010). However, the exact timing of the incision event may be slightly different in those different climatic zones (Starkel et al, 2007).…”
