Why is it important?
The paper provides a record for further evidences for the complex relationship of insolation-induces temperature, evaporation, and precipitation affecting the regional climate changes on the Tibetan Plateau.
Perspectives
Multiple proxies of lake sediment have been widely used to trace palaeo-climate and palaeo-environment changes.This paper provides a non-glacial meltwater-fed lake sediment record for the past 13.8 cal ka in the central Tibetan Plateau using n-alkanes as well as their hydrogen isotope method. The result shows some different with those glacial meltwater-fed lakes records in the early Holocene,which would provide evidence for the air circulation pattern on the central Tibetan Plateau in the early Holocene.
