“To know your future you must know your past.”
“To know your future you must know your past.” There is no better way to start the new semester with expanding the field of view on the Himalayas by looking at the paleoclimate and environment changes through time. The Quaternary period where the transition from the Quaternary Ice Age, to Oldest Dryas, Older Dryas/Allerød and Younger Dryas and to current Holocene Interglacial, represents a distinctive period with typical climate events and environmental changes influencing earth ecosystems. The behaviours of glaciation and hydrology in Himalaya–Tibetan orogen at different regions have oscillated throughout the Quaternary driven by different climatic forcing, in turn, could have had a major impact on global climate. It is of great importance for paleoecological research to understand the nature and dynamics of the Quaternary changes on this high land and adjacent regions. Many studies have applied the proxies records on Quaternary geological archives from Himalaya–Tibet...
