Abstract

Abstract A preliminary stratigraphic subdivision and correlation along the Qinghai—Xizang (Tibet) highway from Lhasa to Golmud and its adjacent areas is presented in this paper. The data used here are mainly observations on the 1985 Royal Society Academia Sinica Geotraverse, together with published and unpublished accounts.
