CLIMATIC CHANGES INDICATED BY TRACE ELEMENTS IN CHAGELEBULU STRATIGRAPHIC SECTION, BADAIN JARAN DESERT, CHINA, SINCE 150 KYR B.P.

摘要

Being situated in the centre of Alxa Desert, western part of Inner Mongolia Plateau and the transitional zone between the eastern and western deserts in China, Badain Jaran Desert (39°30' ～ 41°30'N, 100° ～ 103°E) is the terminus of modern East Asia monsoon. The special location is of great significance on the study of environmental evolution and paleo-monsoon's advance-retreat in late Quaternary.
