CSRME 14 th Biennial National Congress 2016 岷江叠溪古堰塞湖 THE DIEXI PALEO-DAMMED LAKE AT UPSTREAM OF MINGJIANG RIVER SICHUAN ,CHINA WANG LANSHENG (RESEARCH GROUP OF DIEXI PLEO-DAMMED LAKE) CHENGDU UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY ；NSKLGP ，CHINA 2016.12 1 Introduction • About 17 years ago （In May 1999 ）, a huge Paleo-lake sediment, covering 20 square kilometers, was found in the Diexi town area of the Minjiang River Sichuan province, where the east edge of the Tibetan plateau and the Sichuan Basin meet. This paleo-lake was formed about 30000 years ago . It existed for about 10000 years with over 240m of thick lacustrine sediments then bursted around 15000 years ago. Diexi is a historical town located along the upstream of Mingjiang river ( 180Km away from Dujiangyan City),where there was an 7.5 magnitude earthquake on August 25th, 1933. About 130Km away from Yinxui city is the Wenchuan earthquake center which happened on May 12th,2008. • In this speech I will talk about the geological formation and importance of these discoveries. Then I will briefly discuss the fallowing topics: (1) Comparative Analysis on paleo climate； (2) Diexi paleo -lake and Chengdu plane； (3) Diexi paleo -lake and the development history of Mingjiang river; • Finally, with the presented data, I hope we can come to the conclusion that paleo -dammed lake sediment analysis offers a new approach to studying ancient geological changes and climatic evolution. 2 Fig.1 Regional tectonics map of the east edge of the Tibetan plateau and the Sichuan Basin.
