The relationship between the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the aridification of eastern
Asia during the middle to late Eocene is still controversial, primarily due to the lack of high …

To contribute to a better understanding of Neogene climate evolution in Central Asia, we
here present the first orbitally tuned time scale for a drillcore record from the Qaidam Basin …

Understanding the mechanisms driving hydrological change in arid Central Asia over a
range of time scales is crucial for making predictions for future changes in fragile desert-lake …

Studies of Cenozoic lacustrine cyclostratigraphy in northeastern Tibet have been successful
in reconstructing the history of precipitation and aridification at astronomical (Milankovitch) …

The extent to which climate variability in Central Asia is causally linked to large-scale
changes in the Asian monsoon on varying timescales remains a longstanding question …

Abstract The East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) variability on orbital time scale has been
extensively investigated in Quaternary loess and speleothems. However, EASM variability …

Understanding the global climate change from greenhouse to icehouse conditions at the
Eocene–Oligocene Transition (EOT) 34millionyears ago requires climatic records from …

Following the early Eocene climatic optimum some 50 million years ago, the marine
paleoclimate record indicates that a long interval of global cooling took place, punctuated by …

Lake hydrological change and its driving mechanisms in the Eocene warmhouse climate are
important to evaluating environmental and ecological changes induced by global warming …

Abstract The Middle to Late Miocene uplift of the northern Tibetan Plateau had been
revealed in a large amount of studies, however, its effects on hydrological and climatic …
