ang=EN-US>The paper reviewed dating results in the Tibetan Plateau and peripheral mountains. The studies show that the local last glacial maximum (LGML) in Himalaya and the south eastern Tibetan Plateau occurred in MIS 3 (58~ang=EN-US>32 ka B.P.) (especial in Mid-MIS 3 or 54~ang=EN-US>44 ka B.P.) rather than in the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGMG or 25~ang=EN-US>15 ka B.P.) of MIS 2. Moreover, MIS 3 glacial advances happened in about 30 areas in Central Asia, including Hindu Kush Mountains, Himalaya Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Nyainqêntanglha Mountains, Tanggula Mountains, Karakorum Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, Qilian Mountains, Tianshan Range, Pamir Plateau, and high mountains of Taiwan.
