Coupling between uplift of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt-NE Tibetan Plateau and accumulation of aeolian Red Clay in the inner Asia began at~ 7 Ma
The Asian interior contains the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB, the longest accretionary
orogen on Earth), the largest mid-latitude desert, and the most widespread late Cenozoic …

The role of paleogeography in Asian monsoon evolution: A review and new insights from climate modelling
The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …
