The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

This article provides a comprehensive review of the global monsoon that encompasses
findings from studies of both modern monsoons and paleomonsoons. We introduce a …

The strong present-day Asian monsoons are thought to have originated between 25 and 22
million years (Myr) ago, driven by Tibetan–Himalayan uplift. However, the existence of older …

The way in which the NE Tibetan Plateau uplifted and its impact on climatic change are
crucial to understanding the evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and the development of the …

As a crucial part of the Asian monsoon stretching from tropical India to temperate East Asia,
the Indian monsoon (IM) contributes predominant precipitation over Asian continent …

There remains substantial debate concerning the relative roles of tectonics and of global
climate in pacing the evolution of aridity in Central Asia over the Cenozoic. Tibetan Plateau …

The Paleogene environment of today's semi-arid and arid Central Asia is poorly quantified
and knowledge of the paleoelevation of northern Tibet remains elusive, yet both are crucially …

Paleoaltimetry based on stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) of paleowater from the central and
northern Tibetan Plateau is challenged by the lack of a clear relationship between isotopic …

Abstract The Xining Basin is well known for its thick and continuous sequence of fine-
grained Cenozoic sediments. In addition, it contains important Xiejia fauna which define the …

Published paleomagnetic data from well-dated sedimentary rocks and lavas from the Lhasa
terrane have been reevaluated in a statistically consistent framework to assess the latitude …
