Ren Guoyu. SOME MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS FROM ABROAD IN THE STUDIES OF FOSSIL POLLEN DURING THE LAST 18000 YEARS[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 1994, 9(2): 59-64.

Analyses of the fossil pollen, especially those from peat and lake sediments, has been one of the most important means for the reconstructions of paleoenvironments in the global continents. A few of major current developments in the fossil pollen studies in the countries other than China have been reviewed in the present paper. The late developments mainly include the improvements of analyzing methods, the investigating of the plant responses to climatic change, the mapping of the space distribution for fossil pollen and paleoclimate, and the extracting of the paleoenvironment information with higher resolution. The author believes that it may be very helpful for Chinese scientists to know these research progresses in the other countries.
