The Relationship Between the Evolution of Glaciers and the Geological Hazards in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Zhang Rui-Jiang

Abstract

Based on the remote sensing investigation and monitoring results of existing glaciers and snowlines in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,this paper deals with the types of geological hazards and their distribution areas in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau caused by the change of existing glaciers and snowlines in the past 30 years.In addition,the formation mechanism of glacial geological hazards is explored preliminarily,and the development trends of geological hazards are predicted.
