摘要
Glaciers advanced and retreated dramatically during glacial-interglacial cycles in Quaternary. Glaciers are important geomorphic agents in shaping the most spectacular landscapes of glaciated regions. Study on these landforms could be used to deduce the former properties of the glaciers, and lead to a good understanding of the temporal and spatial shifts of the past glaciers. The glacial landforms of the last glaciation were well-preserved, based on the landforms and absolute dating results. On the basis of the understanding of the glacial landforms and glaciations in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and surrounding mountains, the problems on Quaternary glaciations and environments in East China have also been resolved.
