Des études géomorphologiques et des recherches historiques ont permis de reconstruire les fluctuations holocènes du Glacier Yanzigou, situé sur le versant oriental du Gongga Shan, le massif montagneux chinois le plus élevé, à l'est de l'Himalaya
Vegetation und Landesnatur im südlichen Gaoligong Shan (West Yünnan). (Végétation et milieu naturel dans le Gaoligong Shan Sud (Ouest du Yunnan))
Asie ; Biogéographie ; Chine ; Etagement ; Flore ; Gaoligong Shan ; Géographie de l'Asie ; Himalaya ; Milieu naturel ; Profil vertical ; Répartition spatiale ; Taxonomie ; Type de végétation ; Végétation ; Yunnan
L'étude porte sur le sud du Gaoligong Shan, où la végétation est pratiquement inconnue. L'A. distingue 6 types naturels de végétation et 3 formations végétales secondaires. Puis, il analyse la distribution spatiale de la végétation. Enfin il fait
une comparaison entre la végétation du sud du Gaoligong Shan et celle de l'Est de l'Himalaya.
Five mountain ranges were chosen for a numerical determination of exposure differences for vegetation as well as for the determination of altitudinal limits of periglacial landforms (Northern Tian Shan, Southern and Central Tian Shan, Western Kunlun
Zum vorzeitlichen glazialen Formenschatz im zentralen Qilian Shan (Tulai Shan)
Les formes glaciaires anciennes dans le Qilian Shen central (Tulai Shan)
Pour apporter une contribution au débat concernant la nature et l'étendue de la glaciation pléistocène en Asie centrale, l'A. présente un exemple dans la partie nord du Qilian Shan, à la limite nord-est du plateau tibétain et montre une montée des

This paper presents results from southern Inylchek Glacier in the highly continental central Tian Shan, where sub-debris ablation was measured with stakes and simulated using air temperature and water vapour pressure. Parallel observations of air
La chaîne des hautes montagnes taiwanaises n'est actuellement pas englacée, mais des études concernant les monts Hsueh Shan (3884 m) et Nanhuta Shan (3742 m) ont montré l'extension de l'ancienne couverture glaciaire. La configuration glaciaire a été

On the cause of glacier mass balance variations in the Tian Shan Mountains
Altitude ; Asia ; Central Asia ; Climatic variation ; Glacier ; Glacier mass balance ; Model ; Tien Shan
Results of the special field observations undertaken to study asynchronous changes in mass balance on the glaciers of the Tian Shan. The programme used an imitation model of the mass balance monitoring (Dyurgerov 1988). It was established
that the asynchronous changes in mass balance were primarily due to the increase of summer snow accumulation eastward the Tian Shan. The second reason was the difference in the altitudinal position of the glaciers.
