台湾高山有无第四纪冰川之争,经历 60a后终于得到澄清。此次查明台湾雪山主峰区有3套 不同时期的冰川遗迹,如冰斗湖、冰坎、大型磨光面和擦痕以及冰碛垄等,分别命名为山庄冰阶(末 次冰期早期,44.25±3.72 ka BP)、黑森林冰阶(本次冰期最盛,18.26±1.52 ka BP)、雪山冰阶(末次冰 期晚期,10.68±0.84ka BP),尤其以早期冰川规模大为特征.澄清了地学界近65a来的怀疑,将为 全球变化研究增添新内容.
There were glaciers or not in the high mountains of Taiwan during the Quaternary is an argument for 67 years (1932 -1998), but now it is soluted. It is found at the summer of 1998 that there are many relics of the paleoglaciers in Xueshan of Taiwan above 3 000 m. a.s.l., ranging they are three stages of the Last Glaciation (L.G.).the Shanzhuang stage (early stage of L.G., 44.25± 3.72 ka BP), the Heisenlin stage (Max. L. G., 18.26± 1.52 ka BP) and the Xueshan stage (late stage of L.G.). The main feature of evolution of the Last Glaciation is that the early stage was the Maximum one. The depression of ice erosion of U-shaped Valley No.2 was 7 m lower than the top of tile crosswall, but the original lake sediment in the depression has been covered by the gravel of taluvium, so the height difference from the top of the crosswall to the bottom of the depression is more than 10 m. Polished surface of the broad in scale and striation was discovered in the southern side of the middle of U-shaped Valley No. 1, which is located in the Black Forest 200 m higher than the directory board of the water source and at 3400 m in altitude. It is estimated that this crosswall could be a cirque mouth of the Shanzhuang glacial stage. There are glacial moraine banks corresponding to the above mentioned depression of ice erosion and the crosswall outside of the crosswall of U-shaped Valley No.2, and a lateral moraine bank on the eastern side of this valley. There are moraine materials of three different periods corresponding to the landform of ice erosion on U-shaped Valley No. 1. There is a highland of glacial moraine nearby the Village 369. The length of the glacier was estimated to be about 4 km and the snow line to be 3 400 m in altitude. There are some glacial moraine banks nearby the water source of the black forest. Glacier was estimated to be about 3 km in length, its ancient snow line was estimated to be about 3 500 m in altitude, the same as the upper limit of the forest at present. There is a small lateral moraine bank and a moraine highland from the tree line (3 500 m) on the U-shape d Valley No. 1 to 3 700 m on the northern steep slope of the main peak of the Xueshan. Glacier was estimated to be about 1.5 km in length, and snow line to be about 3 700 m in altitude.
