Abstract

Based on field survey and air photo interpretation, the shape, size, type, environmental condition, and forming date of the rockglaciers are considered in permafrost belt of the periglacial area at the Tianshan Mountains. Small size talus-typed rockglaciers are predominant in the head area of the Urumqi River, while on halt of the rockglaciers are large moraine-typed in Shawan County. The rockglaciers are distributed at the areawhere mean annual air temperature is 0-9℃, and mostly on northward slopes. Therockglaciers formed since 10000a B. P.
