Reorganization of the Asian climate from one dominated by global planetary wind systems
to a regional monsoon climate is closely related to the surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau …

Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

The strategic goals of the United Nations and the Aichi Targets for biodiversity conservation
have not been met. Instead, biodiversity has continued to rapidly decrease, especially in …

As the Anthropocene advances, there are few parts of Earth that have not been impacted by
human influence. Humans have had a long-sustained interaction with grassy ecosystems …

The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian

Abstract The Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT) at∼ 34 Ma marked a significant global
cooling on Earth when the ice cover in the Antarctic was formed. How the regional …

Recent studies suggest increasing sensitivity to orbital variations across the Eocene-
Oligocene greenhouse to icehouse climate transition. However, climate simulations and …

Abstract The Qaidam Basin in the core area of arid Inner Asia has been considered
undergoing continuous aridification over the Cenozoic. However, the Qaidam Basin is …

Determining the age of siliciclastic continental sequences in the absence of comprehensive
biostratigraphy or radiometric dating of geological markers (eg, volcanic layers) is inherently …

Asia's rich species diversity has been linked to its Cenozoic geodiversity, including active
mountain building and dramatic climatic changes. However, prior studies on the …
