Sedimentary provenance perspectives on the evolution of the major rivers draining the eastern Tibetan Plateau
The origin and development of the major rivers in the eastern Tibetan Plateau have been a
special focus of research because of the close links recognized between river formation …

[HTML][HTML] Palaeodrainage evolution of the large rivers of East Asia, and Himalayan-Tibet tectonics
Understanding the tectonics that gave rise to the formation of Tibet is critical to our
understanding of crustal deformation processes. The unusual geomorphology of the …

Existence of a continental-scale river system in eastern Tibet during the late Cretaceous–early Palaeogene
The establishment of continental-scale drainage systems on Earth is largely controlled by
topography related to plate boundary deformation and buoyant mantle. Drainage patterns of …

Sedimentary provenance constraints on the Cretaceous to Cenozoic palaeogeography of the western margin of the Jianghan Basin, South China
Provenance analysis of sedimentary basins is a direct way to understand the uplift of
orogenic belts, basin deposition, and evolution of large rivers. A series of Mesozoic and …

A late eocene‐oligocene through‐flowing river between the upper Yangtze and south China sea
We test the hypothesis of a major Paleogene river draining the SE Tibetan Plateau and the
central modern Yangtze Basin that then flowed south to the South China Sea. We test this …

Sedimentary recycling in Jianchuan Basin, SE Tibetan Plateau: A solution to the debate on the formation age of the First Bend (Yangtze River)
The sedimentary archive of the Jianchuan Basin provides a critical constraint on the
formation of the “First Bend”, a major geomorphological feature of the Yangtze River …

Formation of the three gorges (Yangtze River) no earlier than 10 Ma
The timing of formation of the Three Gorges, a critical capture point on the Yangtze River,
has been debated for more than a century. In this paper, we review the existing evidence …
