A study on thermal history not only plays an important role on analysis the tectonic origin of the Qaidam basin, revealing the forming mechanism and uplift history of Tibetan plateau, but also is available to provide scientific evidence on oil & gas resources appraising. Using balanced cross-sections technique, and combination of analysis of apatite fission track ages with modeling of fission track length distribution, it was infered that eastern Qaidam basin experienced significant tectonic movement in the early Jurassic movement (~200 Ma), which caused the carboniferous uplift and denudation, the geological movement in late Cretaceous, characterized by stretch in the early and the northeast-southwest extrusion in late; Himalayan movement in multi-stage development in the eastern Qaidam basin, Mainly divided into the early Himalayan movement (41.1~33.6 Ma) and the late Himalayan movement (9.6~7.1 Ma, 2.9~1.8 Ma), which large-scale orogeny caused pre-existing faults reactivated in late Himalayan movement.

  • Xining to Lhasa (Vice Versa)
    TRAIN : Qinghai Tibet Railways JOURNEY : Xining to Lhasa (vice versa) Journey Duration : Upto 2 Days Day to Day Itinerary Unlike trains to Tibet from other gateway cities, the trains from Xining depart several times a day, since all other Tibet trains will stop in Xining before reaching Lhasa. The departure time of Xining Lhasa trains ranges from 12:27 at noon to 21:27 in the evening, offering flexible choices for tourists. Among all the trains to Tibet, there are two trains directly originated from Xining , one numbered as No.Z6801 departing every other day, and the other as No.Z6811 scheduled to run within a seasonal period. Timetable of Direct Xining to Lhasa Train Train No. Z6801 is the only train that starts directly from Xining and ends in Lhasa. It departs every other day at 14:01 from Xining Railway Station and arrives in Lhasa at 11:20 on the next day. Besides, Train No. Z6811 which bounds for Shigatse can also take tourists to Lhasa from Xining. The train from Xining to Shigatse is a seasonal train departing every day.

  • Regionalization of Cryosphere Water Resource Service
    Desalination and Water Treatment 168 (2019) 394–404 www.deswater.com November doi: 10.5004/dwt.2019.24214 Regionalization of cryosphere water resource service Haoxi Lina,b,c, Jinchuan Huangb,c,*, Chuanglin Fangb,c, Jie Liub,c, Xiaoxiao Qib, Yunqian Chend aGuangzhou Institute of Geography, Guangdong Open Laboratory of Geospatial Information Technology and Application, Guangzhou 510070, China bInstitute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China, email: [email protected] (J.C. Huang) cCollege of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China dBeijing National Day School, Beijing 100039, China Received 22 October 2018; Accepted 21 January 2019 abstract The cryosphere water resource service (CWRS) is the most significant cryosphere service (CS) to directly affect human societies. Regionalization of CWRS is an important prototype for the comprehensive regionalization of CSs. It is also a crucial cutting-edge exploration of interdisciplinary work across cryospheric science, physical geography and human geography. We constructed a quan- titative indexing system for the regionalization of CWRS along the dimensions of base–supply– demand informed by the characteristics of cryosphere resources and human use of CSs. Different levels of regionalization are subdivided using cluster analysis, the importance index of CWRS, and a location entropy model. A region in Northwest China with significant CWRS use was the study area. From the joint effects of nature and human activity, there emerge principles of regional differentia- tion that govern the regionalization of CWRS. The study area was first divided into three high level service regions according to the availability of stored cryosphere water in snow cover, frozen ground and glaciers, indicating the regulatory function of cryosphere components.

  • A 3585-Year Ring-Width Dating Chronology of Qilian Juniper from the Northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 30 (4), 2009: 379–394 A 3585-YEAR RING-WIDTH DATING CHRONOLOGY OF QILIAN JUNIPER FROM THE NORTHEASTERN QINGHAI-TIBETAN PLATEAU Xuemei Shao1 *, Shuzhi Wang2, Haifeng Zhu1, Yan Xu1, Eryuan Liang3, Zhi-Yong Yin4, Xinguo Xu5 and Yongming Xiao5 SUMMARY This article documents the development of a precisely dated and well- replicated long regional tree-ring width dating chronology for Qilian juniper (Juniperus przewalskii Kom.) from the northeastern Qinghai- Tibetan Plateau. It involves specimens from 22 archeological sites, 24 living tree sites, and 5 standing snags sites in the eastern and northeastern Qaidam Basin, northwestern China. The specimens were cross-dated suc- cessfully among different groups of samples and among different sites. Based on a total of 1438 series from 713 trees, the chronology covers 3585 years and is the longest chronology by far in China. Comparisons with chronologies of the same tree species about 200 km apart suggest that this chronology can serve for dating purposes in a region larger than the study area. This study demonstrates the great potential of Qilian juniper for dendrochronological research. Key words: Northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau; Qilian juniper; den- drochronology; cross-dating; 3585-year chronology; archeological wood. INTRODUCTION One of the aims of dendrochronology is to construct long-term chronologies covering hundreds to thousands of years. These chronologies have major applications to climatic interpretations, radiocarbon analysis, and dating of past events (Lara & Villalba 1993; Scuderi 1993; Hughes & Graumlich 1996; Stahle et al. 1998, 2007; Grudd et al. 2002; Helama et al. 2002; Naurzbaev et al. 2002; Friedrich et al. 2004; Bhattacharyya & Shah 2009; Fang et al.

Across the river is Haidong Prefecture with two million inhabitants, at least two thirds of them Chinese and Hui. Official population in Chentsa is about 49,000, with a 60% Tibetan majority claimed. The true Tibetan proportion is probably lower. Demographic pressure is intense: population density in Chentsa, the nearest to Xining and Haidong, is 28 persons/km2 .

Brief description and impressions Chentsa CFP-W-éE, (Ch. Jianza Xian ) is one of the most vulnerable of all the Tibetan counties to patterns of development preferred by China. Only the Yellow River (Ma Chu), edging its northern border, now divides it from the densely-populated Chinese and Hui region of Haidong Prefecture. This geographical feature once served as a clear and formidable marker between a totally Tibetan world to the south and a region which, though sinicizing gradually over the centuries, did not overleap the Yellow River until the Communist Chinese occupation.

The UHP rocks, as lentoid bodies in regional gneisses, include eclogite (garnet-bearing pyroxenite), garnet peridotite and various pelitic or felsic gneisses. There are many re- cords of minerals and microstructures of exsolution indicate the UHP metamorphism, such as coesite (or its pseudomorph), diamond, exsolution of clinopyroxene/amphibole/+rutile or rutile+quartz+apatite in garnet, exsolution of quartz in omphacite and exsolution of kyanite+spinel in precursor stishovite.
