摘要: 本文是联合国政府间海洋委员会西太平洋分委员会(IOC/WESTPAC)发起的“西太平洋古地理图编图计划”中国海部分的初步成果,用101个站位的14C测年和22个站位的氧同位素资料编制了本次盛冰期(20000-15000aB.P.)资料图、古地理图和古海洋图等三张图件。Abstract: Over one hundred sites with 14C- datings or oxygen isotope data have been collected to compile paleogeographic maps of the China Seas during the last glacial maximum (LGM) of 20000-15000 aB.P.A series of 3 draft maps (data map,paleogeographic map and paleoceanographic map) have been made, as a part of preliminary results from the IOC/WESTPAC paleogeographic mapping project.In this paper only the paleogeographic map is presented (Fig.1), and it is compiled on the basis of a total of 123 sites, of which 101 are radiocarbon-dated and 22 are constrained by stable oxygen isotope data. Twenty-seven radiocarbon-dated sites and 15 stable oxygen isotope data sites are listed in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively.The paleogeographic map at the last glacial maximum has revealed two major changes of the China Seas caused by the low sea-level stand:(1) The exposure of vast continental shelves in a total area of about 1.55 million km2.
