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 …
