Abstract:

       Based on data of systematic age sampling, Quaternary sediment  lithology and palynomorph assemblage analysis on the standard well  (N06S6)  for Quaternary  research  in Qinhuai River valley, a stratigraphic unit, Hanfu Formation since Late Pleistocene, was set up for Quaternary stratigraphy in the Qinhuai River valley. Five palynological assemblages were distinguished through an  intensive study on pollens and spores  from  the well, and  five stages  in  the evolution of vegetation and climate were
correspondingly  reconstructed  for  the Late Quaternary  in  this area. The Quaternary paleoenvironment, paleoclimate and paleo-
landform was also recovered in the area, which indicates that the  paleo-landform changed little and new tectonic movement during this time was weak in the study area.

Key words: Qinhuai River valley, Quaternary , sediments, standard well , for Quaternary , research, sedimentary environment
