摘要:
The Development of Nam Co Lake in Tibet since Late Pleistocene
      Nam Co, located in the southeast part of the North Tibetan (Qiangtang) Plateau, is the largest lake (1 920 km 2) and the highest large lake (4 718 m a. s. l.) in Tibet. Leveling of 19 profiles along the shores of Nam Co shows that there are 6 lake terraces of 1.5~8.3 m, 8.3~15.6 m, 14.0~19.9 m,18.7~25.8 m, 26.0~36.9 m and 38.3~47.6 m respectively and high lacustrine sediments from 48 m to 139.2 m above the lake level. Below 27 m a.l.l., 8 to 30 shore levees and an erosional trough were disco vered, which are at the height of 17.5~19.8 m, as high as the water divide between the Nam Co basin and the Ren Co Jiuru Co basin. 12 carbonate bearing sediment samples of lacustrine and beach facies from 7 profiles along the shores of Nam Co and 3 samples from the adjacent lakes were dated by an isochron technique of total sample dissolution. U series dating shows that the high lacustrine sediments were deposited in the early Late Pleistocene from 90.7±9.9 to 71.8±8.5 ka B P, the terraces of Nos. 6, 5, 4, 3,and 2 were formed in the middle late Late Pleistocene of ca. 53.7±4.2 ka B P, 41.2±4.7~39.5±3.0 ka B P,35.2±3.0 ka B P, 32.3± 4.4 ka B P and 28.2±2.8 ka B P, respectively, and the beach conglomerate as high as the lake eroded trough, a little older than 29.3±2.7 ka B P. Based on the above mentioned data, this paper divides the lake development of Nam Co into three stages: ① the early middle Late Pleistocene Qiangtang great palaeolake before 40 ka B P, ② outflow lake between 40 and 30 ka B P and ③ Nam Co since 30 ka B P. In the stage of great palaeolake, a series of lakes, such as Nam Co, Siling Co and other big and moderate lakes in the southeast Qiangtang Plateau were joined together into a great lake whose range might overstep the water divide between the inland lakes and the Nujiang River system, but no lakes were linked with each other by rivers. The great palaeolake is named the "East Qiangtang Lake" which might be connected with the other great palaeolakes in central-southern and southwestern Qiangtang Plateau, forming a united great "Qiangtang Palaeolake".
