The crown and stars represent the Click to Enlarge Image country’s sovereignty and the friendship of nationalities. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Early History: Iranian peoples such as the Soghdians and the Bactrians are the ethnic forbears of the modern Tajiks. They have inhabited parts of Central Asia for at least 2,500 years, assimilating with Turkic and Mongol groups. Between the sixth and fourth centuries B.C., present-day Tajikistan was part of the Persian Achaemenian Empire, which was conquered by Alexander the Great in the fourth century B.C. After that conquest, Tajikistan was part of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, a successor state to Alexander’s empire.

  • Mapping Features of Fedchenko Glacier, the Pamirs, Central Asia from Space
    地理学論集 Geographical Studies №84（2009) №84（2009) Mapping Features of Fedchenko Glacier, the Pamirs, Central Asia from Space 宇宙から見た中央アジア，パミールのフェドチェンコ氷河の特徴 Shuji IWATA＊ 岩田 修二* Key words：glacier basin form, compound basins valley glacier, glacier front fluctuation, surge, basin piracies キーワード：氷河流域形態，複合流域谷氷河，末端変動，サージ，流域争奪 要旨 さまざまなインターネット情報，とくにGoogle Earthの立体画像やGoogle Mapの等高線地図によってフェドチェンコ氷 河の地形特徴を明らかにできるようになった。これらの情報と1970年代のソビエト陸軍の地図（1:100,000）を用いると， ロシア語圏以外の人々にはあまり知られていないフェドチェンコ氷河の氷河地形学的側面が理解できる。フェドチェンコ 氷河はパミールの北西部の山岳地にある長さ77 ㎞の巨大な谷氷河で，偏西風によって大西洋からの湿気によっておもに冬 に涵養される。フェドチェンコ氷河は革命峰（6,940 m）の西側斜面の海抜5,400 mから始まり北に流れ高度 2,900 mの末 端で終わる。氷河下流区間（末端から30 ㎞まで）は表面岩屑に覆われた細長い氷舌で，中流区間（30 ㎞地点，高度4,050 mから45 ㎞地点，高度4,500 mまで）は南東から北西に流下し多くの支氷河を合わせる。中間地点の最上部の右岸には， 氷河本流が東側にあふれ出し小規模な氷舌（タヌィマス末端）を形成している。上流区間（45 ㎞から流域上端まで）は， 非対称形である。右岸側には革命峰を含む6,000 m級の山塊になっているが左岸側には顕著な高まりがなく，氷河に覆わ れた緩やかな分水界を経て，南西側の谷氷河へと通じている。氷河の上流区間を含む流域は小規模な氷原，または横断 型氷河系を形成しているが全体としてみると，フェドチェンコ氷河は谷氷河である。氷河下流区間で本流に接しているビ バーク氷河（パミール最高峰イスモイル=ソモニ，7,495 mがある）では，繰り返し氷河サージが起こっている。人工衛星 画像の比較によれば，1990年代以後のフェドチェンコ氷河の末端の縮小はおこっていない。氷河変動の状況はカラコラム 山脈の大型氷河とよく似ている。フドチェンコ氷河がこのような大きな氷河にまで発達したのは氷河侵食による流域の争 奪が起こったからと考えられる。 Ⅰ．Introduction The Pamirs in eastern Tajikistan are called the roof of the world. Those rooftops are capped with numerous glaciers. Fedchenko Glacier is the greatest of them in the Pamir, and is called by various superlative expressions such as “the world’s largest” (Table 1). Although Fedchenko Glacier is extremely well known, its actual features are not known except in Russia because most literature

The trend and magnitudinal changes of hydro–climatic variables, such as temperature, precipitation, and streamflow, were determined by applying the non-parametric Mann–Kendall, modified Mann–Kendall, and Sen’s slope tests in the Kofarnihon River Basin in Central Asia.

Burtman, 2013, published in Geotektonika, 2013, Vol. 47, No. 1, pp. 36–58. The Geodynamics of the Pamir–Punjab Syntaxis V. S. Burtman Geological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pyzhevskii per. 7, Moscow, 119017 Russia email: [email protected] Received December 19, 2011 Abstract—The collision of Hindustan with Eurasia in the Oligocene–early Miocene resulted in the rear rangement of the convective system in the upper mantle of the Pamir–Karakoram margin of the Eurasian Plate with subduction of the Hindustan continental lithosphere beneath this margin. The Pamir–Punjab syn taxis was formed in the Miocene as a giant horizontal extrusion (protrusion). Extensive nappes developed in the southern and central Pamirs along with deformation of its outer zone. The Pamir–Punjab syntaxis con tinued to form in the Pliocene–Quaternary when the deformed Pamirs, which propagated northward, were being transformed into a giant allochthon. A fold–nappe system was formed in the outer zone of the Pamirs at the front of this allochthon. A geodynamic model of syntaxis formation is proposed here.
