“…Results showed a substantial increase in the number of lakes, reaching to 534 by 2010, with a total occupied area of 4.10 km 2 (Luo et al, 2015). These thermokarst lakes ranged in depth from 0.5 m to 2.5 m (Lin et al, 2010).…”

“…Most studies of environmental changes in western China have focused on recent decades (Fu, Chen, Li, & Wang, ; Luo, Niu, Lin, Liu, & Yin, ; X. Y. Tang et al, ; Xu et al, ; Zheng & Yao, ). However, these studies were generally based on recent climate records from lakes, ice sheets, and loess (Julie et al, ; Luo et al, ; B. Y. Sun, Liu, Sun, & An, ; X. Y. Tang et al, ; T. Zhang, Ding, Xiao, Zhang, & Du, ) and carbon cycles (Guo et al, ; Q. F. Wang, Zheng, Zhu, & Yu, ) or on the Neoproterozoic glaciations (Liu et al, ).…”

Neotectonic movement in the southern margin of the Ordos Block inferred from the Qianhe River terraces near the north of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

The Qianhe River flows between the Liupanshan Orogen and the Ordos Block, with the river valley controlled by the southern margin fault of the Ordos Block. Five asymmetrical terraces exist on the banks of the Qianhe River, which correspond to the five terraces of the Wei River. Each terrace is composed of alluvial deposits at the bottom beneath loess deposits, which are characterized by alternating loess (L) and paleosol (S) layers, with the basal layers of the loess deposits being S0, S1, S53, S8, and L15 from T1 to T5. The heights of the five terraces T5, T4, T3, T2, and T1 are 220 to 260 m, 130 to 160 m, 60 to 80 m, 20 to 30 m, and 8 to 10 m, respectively, above the present valley, and their ages are 1.2, 0.8, 0.5, 0.13, and 0.01 Ma, respectively. These ages are generally consistent with the several uplift periods of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in the medium and late stages. Therefore, neotectonic movement is the controlling factor of river terrace formation in the periphery of the Ordos Block. According to the south‐west movement of the river channel in the lower reaches of the Qianhe River, it can be estimated that the Ordos Block rotated about 20° counterclockwise in the Pleistocene.

“…Environmental change in Western China has been a research focus in recent years (Huang, Pang, Huang, Hou, & Han, ; Huang, Pang, & Zhao, ; Luo, Niu, Lin, Liu, & Yin, ; Sun, Liu, Sun, & An, ; Tang et al, ; Wang, Zheng, Zhu, & Yu, ; Yang et al, ). Human civilization developed rapidly in the Holocene, during which time the climate fluctuated.…”

A grain‐size analysis in Tonggunao sedimentary profile indicated that 6 arid and 6 wet episodes have been detected in the Holocene, reflecting millennium‐scale climate change. The study area is located in the eastern Alashan Plateau, with the Helan Mountains to the east and the Tengger Desert to the west. It has a vulnerable natural ecology that is sensitive to environmental and climatic changes. The rapid climatic changes revealed by the analysis may be representative of the global climate‐change pattern during the Holocene.
