Abstract: Some veracious dating and environmental information was recorded in the laminas of the [WTBX]Tamarix[WTBZ] sp. dunes in the Lop Nur Lake region, and the laminas are as good as tree rings for dating and revealing the ancient environmental conditions. In this paper, the correlations among the proxy environmental indicators and the extreme climate events, recorded by the C/N, δ13C, δD, δ18O, etc., were analyzed. The results revealed that there were the good correlations among the proxy environmental indicators and the extreme climate events in the Lop Nur Lake region. On which the extreme climate events and their affecting factors in the Lop Nur Lake region were lucubrated.

Key words: Tamarix sp. dune, extreme climate event, climate change, affecting factor, Lop Nur Lake
