Pollen records and time scale for the RM core of the Zoige Basin, northeastern QinghaiTibetan Plateau

A continuous pollen record from the Zoige Basin in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau not only provides information on the vegetation and climate changes during the last two glacial/interglacial cycles, hut also gives proof to establish the time scale of the upper 60 m of the RM core. Subalpine spruce-fir forests colonized the Zoige Basin during the interglacials and interstadials, implying warm and wet climate conditions. Alpine periglacial desert or dry desert may have existed during the penultimate glacial and the last glacial maxima, respectively. Alpine sedge meadow dominated the landscape during MIS 4. The MIS 3 is punctuated by a number of stadials similar to those documented in the Guliya and GISP2 ice cores, as indicated by repeated rise and fall of subalpine spruce-fir forests. Our pollen record reveals a regional climate history similar to those from the neighboring sites, including the Arabian Sea and the Guliya ice core, and thus supports the notion that the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau acts as an important link between climatic events in the North Atlantic realm and the Asian monsoon domain.     

藏东南尼洋河流域降水径流水量平衡问题

为了深入分析藏东南尼洋河流域水文特征及产汇流机理,对该流域降水径流水量平衡问题进行研究。基于尼洋河流域工布江达、巴河桥、更张等水文站日降水、流量等水文气象观测资料,对采用传统泰森多边形法计算的尼洋河流域面平均雨量小于径流量这一现象进行分析,提出降雨径流水量平衡问题;针对尼洋河流域地形地貌特征、降水空间分布规律和测站分布的实际情况,提出尼洋河流域面平均雨量分布式计算方法,并进行了实例计算。计算结果表明:目前对尼洋河流域降水空间分布特征缺乏正确认识;采用传统的泰森多边形法计算面平均雨量是导致出现水量不平衡问题的主要原因。指出尼洋河流域面平均雨量计算应考虑降水的垂直分布差异。     

英国CRU高分辨率格点资料揭示的近百年来青藏高原气温变化

利用英国East Anglia大学CRU高分辨率地面温度格点资料和EOF, REOF及线性趋势等方法,分析了青藏高原地面温度的时空分布特征及近百年来的变化趋势.结果表明:空间一致性是高原气温空间结构的主要特征,除此之外,高原气温在空间分布上还存在东西、南北反相结构.利用方差最大化旋转可将高原气温变化分为高原中部区、西部区、北部区、南部区及东部区.近百年来高原气温处于上升通道,气候倾向率约为0.07?C/10 a,经历了四次冷暖交替的时期:1901?1930年为冷期;1931?1950年为暖期,气温显著升高;1950年开始一直到1980年前后,高原气温总体变化比较平稳;而从1980年至今,高原的气温都处于快速上升的通道.高原气温的变化主要以准60年周期为主,同时还有30年准周期振荡,存在多个突变点.高原各个区域近百年来气温都处于上升状态,青藏高原中部区气候倾向率达0.065?C/10 a,西部区上升趋势最显著,气候倾向率达0.128?C/10 a,北部区为0.108?/10 a,南部区为0.015?/10 a,东部区为0.022?C/10 a,且大部分区域都通过α=0.01的信度检验.各区域有不同的温度变化特征,中部区和北部区相似,而东部区正负交替比较频繁.     

青藏高原盐湖微型和微微型真核浮游生物

 微型与微微型真核浮游生物通常是指粒径在0.2~20 μm之间的真核浮游生物。高原盐湖中微型与微微型真核生物具有丰富的遗传多样性,近年来对高原盐湖中微型与微微型真核生物的研究日渐增多。本文综述了国内外微型与微微型真核浮游生物主要类群的分类学和多样性研究进展,论述了青藏高原柴达木盆地盐湖微型与微微型真核浮游生物的群落结构、在不同盐湖中的分布差异及分子生物学研究方法自身的局限。最后对中国未来加强盐湖中微型与微微型真核浮游生物研究提出了4个建议：加强盐湖微型与微微型真核浮游生物遗传多样性研究,开展盐湖微型与微微型真核浮游生物的纯培养技术研究,充分挖掘盐湖微型与微微型真核浮游生物在生物进化研究中的潜力,以及推动盐湖微型与微微型真核浮游生物功能研究。

Study on Occupational Hazards and Preventive Measures for the Constructors in Building Qinghai-Tibetan Railway

To analyze the hazard factors for the constructors through the geographic environment along the Qinghai-Tibetan railway. On the basis of the physical examination data of the constructors, we dynamically investigated the impact of the plateau environment on the constructors＇ health. We concluded the adaptation after the plain people entering into the plateau, and the application of the medical security measures and the effectiveness of the Plateau diseases preventing and controlling measures during the construction of the Qinghai- Tibetan railway. The results showed that there existed many occupational hazard factors because of the harsh environment in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, and they did a severe harm to the constructors. To take an effective prevention measure could apparently alleviate the occupational hazards, and ensure the safety and health of the constructors. The paper not only provided the valuable experiences for the medical support during the economic construction in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau areas in the future, but also made a contribution for improving the development of the world plateau medicine.

Monitoring lake changes of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau over the past30 years using satellite remote sensing data

During the years 2006–2009,lakes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau(QTP)were investigated using satellite remote sensing strategies.We report the results of this investigation as well as follow-up research and expanded work.For the investigation,we mainly focused on lakes whose areas are more than 1 km2.The remote sensing data that we used included 408 scenes of CBERS CCD images and 5 scenes of Landsat ETM?images in Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region.All these data were acquired around years 2005–2006.Besides remote sensing images,we also collected 1,259 topographic maps.Numbers and areas of lakes were analyzed statistically,which were then compared with those coming from the first lake investigation(implemented between the1960s and 1980s).According to our investigation,up to and around year 2005–2006,the total number of lakes in the QTP was 1,055(222 in Qinghai and 833 in Tibet),accounting for more than 30%of that of China.Thirty newborn lakes with area[1 km2were found,and 5 dead lakes with initial area[1 km2were also found.Among those 13 big lakes([500 km2),Yamzhog Yumco had seriously shrunk,and it has continued to shrink in recent years;Qinghai Lake had shrunk during the period,but some new researches indicated that it has been expanding since the year 2004;Siling Co,Nam Co,and Chibuzhang Co had expanded in the period.We divided the newborn lakes into six categories according to their forming reasons,including river expansion,wetland conversion,etc.The changes of natural conditions led to the death of four lakes,and human exploitation was the main reason for the death of Dalianhai Lake in Qinghai.We picked out three regions which were sensitive to the change of climate and ecological environment:Nagqu Region,Kekexili Region,and the source area of the Yellow River(SAYR).Lakes in both Nagqu and Kekexili have been expanded;meanwhile,most lakes in the SAYR have obviously been shrunk.These regional patterns of lake changes were highly related to variations of temperature,glacier,precipitation,and evaporation.Our investigation and analysis will provide references for researches related to lake changes in the QTP and the response to climate fluctuations.
