...Since the preliminary results were possibly indicative of gas hydrate potentials in the Qinghai-Tibet railway permafrost (Lu et al., 2009), China Geological Survey formally initiated a project for “investigation on gas hydrate prospects within permafrost areas around China from 2004 to 2006”....

...When entering into Holocene, although the large-scaled glaciation was finished, the whole QTP was still under gradual uplifting and its altitude rose to more than 4000 meters, of which the peculiar highness guaranteed that the whole plateau was still on the glacial margin ([26])....

...After entering into Holocene, the whole QTP arrived at the altitude of greater than 4000 meters, which in return determines the whole plateau was still on the glacial margin ([26])....
