Newly-Studies on Global Continental Climate and Terrestrial Yegetation during the LGM;

There has been a big change of the sea level and seabed water temperature since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in southern South China Sea.

In this article,Milkov and Sassen s model is selected to calculate the thickness of the gas hydrate stable zone (GHSZ) and the amount of gas hydrate in the Xisha Trough at present and at the last glacial maximum (LGM),respectively,and the effects of the changes in the bottom water temperature and the sea level on these were also discussed.

Paleoclimatic evolution deduced from organic carbon isotope of western Loess Plateau sediments since Last Glacial Maximum;

Environmental Changes Revealed by Lacustrine Sediment from Longgan Lake since Last Glacial Maximum;

According to the protocol of the phase one of the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparion Project(PMIP),a global atmospheric general circulation model developed at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences(IAP-AGCM)was used to simulate East Asian climate at the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM),about 21,000 calendar years ago.

Vegetation on the emerged continental shelves of the South China Sea (SCS) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was deduced based on pollen of hemipelagic sediments from the continental slopes and the consideration of pollen transport dynamics and source areas.

This paper presents the estimated climatic scenarios in the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM) using glacier dynamics method, based on glacial vestiges well preserved in the head water of the Urumqi River and the relationship between glacier mass balance and climate in the contemporary climatic scenarios.

The past～25,000 years,which covers the Last Glacial Maximum,the last deglaciation andHolocene,witnessed the most dramatic climatic changes of global scale during recentgeologic history.
