Abstract:The paleosnowline reflects the climatic characteristics of the historical glacial period directly. It is the ultimate problem to be solved in the study of ancient glaciers. Based on preliminary study of snow line of Mengshan mountain in 2017, low-lying areas of the snow line in East Asia has been found. By using the concept of East Asian cold trough (East Asian snow trough), the trough-like low-lying areas of the snow line has been described, and the elevation of the snow line in the East Asian cold trough has been preliminarily drawn. In this paper, the research in Shandong section (Mengshan mountain-Laoshan mountain) has been mainly introduced. According to the age data of moraine obtained by 34 methods of photoluminescence and Cosmogenic Nuclide in Mengshan mountain and Laoshan mountain in Shandong province, and the snow line elevation of corresponding glacial period, it is showed that the snow line of Laoshan mountain is lower than that of Mengshan mountain, and the moraine on the east side of Laoshan mountain is mostly submerged by modern sea surface in the glacial period before MIS6. As showed by the results, the climate sensitivity of the eastern part of China is much stronger than that of the western plateau. The strong northern cold wave during the glacial period is the core climate factor for the formation of glaciers in eastern China.
