The uplift will unquestionably influence the environment and climate of the plateau in the same time (such as resulting in the decrease of temperature) and leave some footprint on the contemporary sediments on or around the plateau.

TS95, namely Tianshuihai Lake core is at the south frank of West Kunlun Mountain of Tibet Plateau and is suitable for the investigation of the persistence component. Using R/S analysis, Zhou Houyun et al. (1999) have previously calculated the Hurst index H of the three ferric indexes, FeO, Fe\-2O\-3 and ratio of FeO/ Fe\-2O\-3, from TS95. It is found that all these indexes satisfy Hurst law and they all are greater than 0 5, which means that there are some long run dependencies\|persistence component in the climatic and environmental evolution around Tianshuihai Lake area. This is in accordance with previous work by Yu Suhua et al. (1996). In this paper, the authors use the same method to do some R/S analysis on the other two climatic proxies of TS95, δ 13 C and δ 18 O, which are more suitable than the three ferric indexes to be climatic and environmental proxies. It is found that both the δ 13 C and δ 18 O satisfy Hurst law very well with H δ 13 C =0 875 and H δ 18 O =894, which suggests stronger persistence than the three ferric indexes.展开更多
