These techniques in combination with other dating methods, such as lichenometry, 14C and thermoluminescence (TL) dating, have promoted further understanding of Quaternary glaciations in China, and some new progress has been achieved. For example, abundant dating data, which are consistent with the stratigraphy and geomorphology have been determined; glacial sequences constrained by numerical ages in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and bordering mountains have been obtained; the coupling relationship between the uplift of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the glacier evolution in Quaternary has been identified. An improved comparative schema between Quaternary glaciations and marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) has been proposed on the basis of the available data. The improved comparative schema includes 15 special stages and sub-stages during the last 1 million years. Information, such as time (ka), MIS, Chinese glaciations are accessible. The authors expect more comments and suggestions on the improved schema. %U https://www.geog.com.cn/EN/10.11821/xb201107001
