	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Qilian Mountains conifer forests (PA0517)
		Forests in the Qilian Mountains are reported to support a dense understory of small-stature bamboo which provides potential habitat for the giant panda, although this emblematic species is currently limited in its distribution to places southwest of here.
		The Hexi Corridor is a chain of narrow depressions between the mountain ranges in this region that is functions as an ecological divide between the desert region in the north and the plateau in the south.
		At higher altitudes along the Qilian Mountains is a scattered spruce belt (2b) according to the CVMCC (1979) Vegetation Map of China classes.

	Scientist Calls for Glacier Protection
		Glacier-covered Tianshan, Qilian, Gongga and Yulong mountain ranges, all in northwestern China, have been affected to varying degrees, said Yao, deputy director of Cold and Arid Regions Environment and Engineering Research Institute affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
		The scientist warned that some glaciers in China are experiencing intensifying melting, citing statistics that the size of glaciers in the Qilian Mountains shrank by 4.5 percent between 1850 and 1950, and further by 4.7 percent from 1950 to the present.
		He suggested the state increase investment to establish glacier monitoring stations, a glacier alarm system and make a thorough study into the reserve of glaciers and the law of its changes with the help of remote sensing technology so that prompt countermeasures can be taken once a glacier is found shrinking.

		Previous reconstructions of the Qilian Shan and Nan Shan region in northern Tibet were emphasized either on its early Paleozoic history or its active north-south contraction.
		In contrast, the western Qilian Shan-Nan Shan region is characterized by thick-skinned deformation expressed by two major pop-up structures north and south of the Xining basin in the easternmost Nan Shan.
		In contrast, the eastern Qilian Shan and Nan Shan were shortened by basement-involved contraction.

	Yuezhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They were originally settled in the arid grasslands of the eastern Tarim Basin area, in what is today Xinjiang, Gansu, and possibly Qilian in China, before they migrated to Transoxiana, Bactria and then northern India, where they formed the Kushan Empire.
		According to these accounts, "the Yuezhi originally lived in the area between the Qilian, or Heavenly Mountain (Tian Shan) and Dunhuang" (Shiji, 123), corresponding to the eastern half of the Tarim Basin and the northern portion of Gansu
		The Yuezhi may have been a Caucasoid people, as indicated by the portraits of their kings on the coins they struck following their exodus to Transoxiana (2nd-1st century BCE), and especially the coins they struck in India as Kushans (1st-3rd century CE).

	CONSTRAINTS FROM METASEDIMENTS AND GNEISSES IN THE THE QILIAN FOLD BELT FOR THE POSITION OF THE NORTH CHINA BLOCK IN ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Qilian fold belt located along the southwestern margin of the North China block comprises continental margin and oceanic basin strata belonging to the Trans-Hudsonian, Grenville, and Caledonian orogenic events.
		The Ta-Den Creek section of the northern North Qilian belt represents the youngest Caledonian basin investigated, with metasediments defining an age of 412 Ma and having compositions showing a more significant contribution from ocean floor and arc material.
		The Central Qilian belt may thus represent fragments of rifted continental basement dispersed through the western Iapetus Ocean basin, similar to the tectonic structure of the modern western Pacific.

		The evidence is that it comes from snowmelt on Qilian Mountain, which lies 500 kilometers (300 miles) away to the southwest.
		According to their calculation, 500 million cubic metres (17.5 billion cubic feet) could be extracted from the desert groundwater every year.
		The team, led by Ling Li at the University of Queensland and China's Hohai University in Nanjing, caution that the extraction would have to be done on a sustainable basis.

		We analyzed GPS data collected from 1993 to 1998 along the northern rim of the Tibetan plateau spanning the western Kunlun, Karakaxi, Altyn Tagh, and Qilian Shan faults.
		About half of the motion is accommodated as convergence across the Qilian Shan fault.
		East of the Qilian Shan fault we detect 8+-3 mm/yr eastward motion with respect to Siberia, providing evidence of eastward extrusion of the Tibetan plateau.

		By the contrast with the eclogite of Altun which is border upon Qilian, scientists got a conclusion that the eclogites of both Qilan and Altun were the production of the early Paleozoic subduction and the collision between continents, and then they were divided by the Altun fault.
		The early Paleozoic UHP metamorphic belt which extends 350 km in the south of Qilian is the greatest scale UHP metamorphic belt in the west of China.
		The unified understanding of Qilian orogenic zone and the proposal of the model about the early Paleozoic orogeny not only deepen the research on Qilian, but also help to learn the tectonic evolvement in North Tibet.

	IngentaConnect The Aoyougou Mafic-Ultramafic Complex in the North Qilian Mountai...
		The Aoyougou mafic-ultramafic complex lies in the Paleozoic orogenic belt of the western part of the North Qilian Mountains near Aoyougou valley in Gansu Province, northwestern China.
		It consists of serpentinite, a cumulate sequence of gabbro and diorite, pillowed and massive lavas, diabase dikes, and chert, an assemblage tentatively interpreted as an ophiolite.
		Based on the lava geochemistry, the nature of the serpentinite, and the regional geology, the Aoyougou complex is interpreted as a fragment of oceanic lithosphere that may have formed at an oceanic spreading axis.

		Abstract: The Ta'ergou tungsten deposit in Gansu province, northwestern China, is located in the western part of the North Qilian Caledonian orogen, and consists of scheelite skarn bodies and wolframite quartz veins.
		The tungsten-bearing skarn developed by the replacement of carbonate layers intercalated in the Precambrian schist and amphibolite whereas wolframite-quartz ore veins developed along a group of fractures that cut through horizontal skarns.
		It has been proved that Precambrian strata in the west sector of North Qilian region are enriched in tungsten.

		Xining, 10 June: Owing to global warming and deterioration of the environment, glaciers at Mount Qilian on China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are shrinking at an annual rate of between two and 16 metres in recent years.
		As a result, the flow of the Heihe River, China's second largest inland river which originates from Mount Qilian, reduced by 16.8 per cent since the early 1950s, affecting production of 1,000 industrial firms and crops on 266,000 ha of land in the Hexi Corridor in northwest China's Gansu Province.
		Mount Qilian borders Qinghai and Gansu Provinces for a total length of 800 km and has an elevation of 4,000 metres on average.

		The relative age of these moraines was first confirmed based on their geomorphologic position and degree of weathering.
		The results show that the oldest glaciation, the Zhonglianggan Glaciation, in the Qilian Mountains, occurred at about 462.9ka BP (Zhou Shangzhe et al, 2002), and the high Wangfeng glaciation, the oldest one in the Tianshan Mountains, was dated at 477.1 and 459.7 ka BP (Zhou Shangzhe 2002).
		This was similar to the Cl36 age of bottom ice layer of a 309m ice core of Guliya Ice Cap (Shi Yafeng, 1998).
