英文摘要 | Intensely cold conditions occurred during part of the last major glaciation of the mountains and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in northeast China but their chronology is constrained by few limiting ages. At the Mengyuan section, on the northeastern margin of the Qilian Mountains, sandy silt provided three OSL ages that suggest deposition during a very cold, dry period in northeastern China between c. 29 and 19ka (early part of marine isotope stage (MIS) 2). Load-casting into the underlying outwash gravel occurred during climate amelioration. In some cases, the sandy silt infilled the spaces left by underlying thawing blocks of ice without collapse of the surrounding gravel. The gravel must therefore be older than c. 30ka and was probably deposited by outwash from glaciers on the higher parts of the Qilian Mountains during MIS 3. Included in them were buried contemporaneous or remnant blocks of glacial ice. Subsequently the surface became flat by unknown processes and was finally covered by a thin loess dating from 2.7ka, indicating it was deposited in the first warmer period in the Neoglacial sequence of events. Thus, the last major cold event spanned the period through isotope stages 2 and 3 in this area (57 to c. 19ka), during which the dominant effects of glaciation of the mountain tops were replaced by intensely dry, cold permafrost conditions for c. 10ka.
