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 …

Diatomites constitute a widely represented lithology in the Messinian sections of the circum-
mediterranean Neogene marginal basins. Although traditionally interpreted as genuine …

Chemical weathering of continental silicates is a crucial geological process in regulating
Earth's long-term climate and participating in global carbon cycle. The increasing aridity and …

Global cooling and the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau have long been considered the crucial
controls of the climate change in inland Asia since the Cenozoic. However, which of these …

Abstract The Qaidam Basin, located on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau and containing
Cenozoic sediments with a maximum thickness of~ 12,000 m, is an ideal place to study the …

Fast late Miocene global cooling since∼ 7 Ma accompanied by less changeable
atmospheric CO2 levels revealed by existing proxy reconstructions has suggested an …

The uplift of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during the late Cenozoic is thought to be one of crucial
factors controlling Asian climate. However, the complex interaction between tectonics and …

Cenozoic basin sediments around the Tibetan Plateau are valuable archives that can be
used to reveal long-term interactions among tectonics, climate and weathering. However …

Thick successions of middle and late Cenozoic sedimentary rocks occur in the Linxia Basin
of China. These deposits comprise an archive recording spatiotemporal patterns of …

Abstract The East Asian coastal mountains have been in place during the Late Cretaceous
times, thus substantially influencing the Asian climate. So far, their altitude is uncertain. Here …
