    Abstract
  • Cenozoic sediments up to 10 000 meters thick in the Qaidam basin recorded the Tibetan plateau uplift and paleoclimate changes. Based on the high-resolution magnetic polarity dating scale of the Dahonggou section in the northern margin of the basin,the color measurement of the Paleo-Neogene fluvial and lacustrine sediments in this section is performed. Furthermore,integrating the sedimentary facies,regional tectonic and paleoclimate records,this paper discusses the factors affecting the color parameters of river-lacustrine sediments and the climate evolution of the Qaidam basin during the Paleo-Neogene period. The research results show that the change of sediment color in Dahonggou section is basically consistent with the global temperature trend,indicating that temperature is the main factor affecting color parameters,especially the redness (a*) value,but the sedimentary facies changes,especially changes in the oxidation-reduction environment above and below the water,also have an important influence on the color parameters. According to the changes of color parameters on the time scale,the climate change in the Qaidam basin has been divided into 8 stages: (a) hot and humid during 52.0-44.2 Ma,(b) gradually becomes dry in the fluctuation of dryness and wetness during 44.2-33.7 Ma,(c) further dries during 33.7-27.1 Ma,(d) gradually becomes wet during 27.1-19.7 Ma,(e) relatively dry during 19.7-17.0 Ma,(f) warm and humid during 17.0-13.3 Ma,(g) rapidly dries during 13.3-9.5 Ma,(h) becomes further arid during 9.5-7.0 Ma. The main factors affecting the Paleo-Neogene climate change in the Qaidam basin include global temperature,the Para-Tethys Sea,the uplift of the Tibetan plateau and the East Asian summer monsoon.
