“…Wassmer et al (2004) investigated the landslide barrier lake located in the Rhine Valley of Switzerland and the research was mainly focused on the failure mechanism of the barrier. Krivonogov (2005) studied the ice-dammed lake located in northern Mongolia and focused on the formation time of the barrier and the environment during the time when the lake existed. Moreiras (2006) investigated the approximate formation time of the landslide barrier lake located on the Cordon del Plata River of in the central Andes and he considered the clogging event related to seismicity, together with climatic conditions, rock formations and geological structures.…”

Abstract. Studies on the formation of the ancient Diexi barrier lake on the Mingjiang River, southwestern China, have long been carried out. However, investigations into the correlation between the palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment and the palaeoseismic events in this area are rarely found in literature. The present study took sediments from the ancient Diexi barrier lake to investigate the palaeoclimate, palaeoenvironment and palaeoseismic events. A drilling at the centre of the barrier lake was conducted and the core of about 260 m long was examined. The palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment indicators (sporopollen, carbon and oxygen isotopes, organic matter, calcium carbonate, granularity) from the sediments have been tested and analysed, and indicate that there were 10 climatic and environmental periods between 30 000 and 15 000 a BP (before present). The discovered disturbance segments in the core indicate there were at least 10 seismic events during that period. The consistency between climate change and seismic events indicates that a strong seismicity is normally accompanied by a climatic variation. This may be a useful supplement for climate and geohazard predictions in the future.

“…There have been two stages of deep lake in this basin. The first lake was dammed by a glacier during late MIS 5 (Krivonogov et al, 2005) or, alternatively, during early to middle MIS 3 (Gillespie et al, 2008). The second damming, glacial or sedimentary, formed another deep lake during MIS 4 or MIS 2.…”

Though neotectonic activity is believed to be the major factor in the evolution of the topography of the Ejina Basin in Central Asia, detailed documentation and analysis of climatic landscape features and their environmental implications are lacking. The present study is a site-specific documentation of landforms developed in the wide part of the Ejina Basin, with the aim to identify the climatic landforms based on the method of climatic geomorphology and to evaluate its landscape evolution and response to palaeoclimate changes. The morphodynamics of older landscapes are recognized by making comparison with the present climate and its corresponding landscapes. Clear evidences testifying the basin-scale shifting and transformation of different morphoclimatic zones in the basin are observed, which prove that the main geomorphic unit is changed from an alluvial-lacustrine plain to a desert plain. The coexistence of diverse landscapes and the consequent geomorphodiversity in the basin should be a compound result of surficial processes other than glaciations. The climate and hydrological conditions of the basin during the last glaciation and during the Early Holocene were much better than at present, possibly having an average annual precipitation ranged between 60~350 mm on the basin during ca. 39-23 ka BP but great fluctuations during Holocene. The periods of lower aridity during the late Pleistocene in the bain could be induced by an increase of the westerlies and a weakening of the Asian winter monsoon on the arid areas of the central Asia.

“…Paleoshorelines (Fig. 11a, Selivanov, 1967;Komatsu and Olsen, 2002;Krivonogov et al, 2005) and lake sediments (Fig. 11b) are evidence of gigantic paleolakes in the basin (Paleolake Darhad; Gillespie et al, 2008).…”

“…12-14, e.g., Krivonogov et al, 2005). The uppermost section of the Yenesei River valley, from the Darkhadyn Khotgor to where the Kaa Khem enters the Kyzyl Basin, is crossed by many NNE-SSW-trending structurally controlled side valleys, one of which contains the Tengis Gol.…”

“…In particular, the Darkhadyn Khotgor (Darhad Basin) of northern Mongolia (Table 1), and the Todza Basin of Tuva (Fig. 2) appear to have contained large and deep paleolakes maintained by ephemeral physical dams (Yamskikh and Yamskikh, 1999;Arzhannikov et al, 2000;Krivonogov et al, 2005;Gillespie et al, 2008). These paleolakes did not form primarily from the interplay of precipitation and evaporation, which are the two main processes that maintain climatedominated paleolakes such as those in the Gobi-Altai (e.g., Komatsu et al, 2001).…”
