摘要

Continuous Bi profile of the East Rongbuk (ER) ice core near Mr.Qomolangma reveals nine major volcanic events since AD 1800.Compared with Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI),it shows that the con-centrations of Bi in the ER ice core can reflect the major volcanic events within the key areas.This provides a good horizon layer for ice core dating,as well as a basis for reconstructing a long sequence of volcanic records from the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau ice cores.
