The growth of the Tibetan Plateau throughout the past 66 million years has profoundly
affected the Asian climate, but how this unparalleled orogenesis might have driven …

The Tibetan Plateau exerts a major influence on Asian climate, but its long-term
environmental history remains largely unknown. We present a detailed record of vegetation …

The biodiversity of the Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains and Tibet, here collectively termed
the Tibetan Region, is exceptional in a global context. To contextualize and understand the …

Tibet's ancient topography and its role in climatic and biotic evolution remain speculative
due to a paucity of quantitative surface-height measurements through time and space, and …

The uplift of eastern Tibet, Asian monsoon development and the evolution of globally
significant Asian biodiversity are all linked, but in obscure ways. Sedimentology …

The uplift history of south-eastern Tibet is crucial to understanding processes driving the
tectonic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding areas. Underpinning existing …

Structural information of grassland changes on the Tibetan Plateau is essential for
