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 …

A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

摘要喜马拉雅2 青藏高原造山带的地质历史显示出, 自从约70Ma 印度板块2
亚洲板块开始碰撞以来, 至少有1 360 km 的SN 向缩短量被喜马拉雅2 青藏高原造山带所吸收 …

Paleosols (fossil soils) are preserved throughout the geologic record in depositional settings
ranging from alluvial systems to between basalt flows. Until recently, paleosols were studied …

Prevailing opinion assigns the Tibetan Plateau a crucial role in shaping Asian climate,
primarily by heating of the atmosphere over Tibet during spring and summer. Accordingly …

Debate continues over whether global cooling or uplift of the Tibetan Plateau provided the
first-order driver for the aridification (moisture levels) of Central Asia throughout the Mid …

Interest in pre-Quaternary paleosols has increased over the past decade, in large part,
because they have proved to be beneficial in solving diverse geological problems. The …

A newly constructed record of eolian dust accumulation from the central North Pacific shows
that dust deposition increased by an order of magnitude quite rapidly at 3.6 Ma. We …

▪ Abstract Vertebrate fossils and continental sediments provide a rich record of variations in
the isotopic composition of surface environments. To interpret these records, a greater …
