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 …

As the largest depression in the Tibetan plateau, the Qaidam basin preserves over 10 km
thick of Cenozoic sediments. Those sediments represent a unique archive of the evolution of …

The uplift of orogenic plateaus has been assumed to be coincident with the fluvial incision of
the gorges that commonly cut plateau margins. The Mekong River, which drains the eastern …

The growth and deformation history of the Qilian-Nan Shan thrust belt bounding the NE
Qaidam Basin figures importantly in testing models of Tibetan Plateau uplift during the India …

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

The modern pattern of the Asian monsoon is thought to have formed around the
Oligocene/Miocene transition and is generally attributed to Himalaya–Tibetan Plateau (H …

Theories of late Cenozoic climate cooling assume that central Asian aridification and high
dust accumulation rates in the Chinese Loess Plateau and the North Pacific Ocean are …

Following the early Eocene climatic optimum some 50 million years ago, the marine
paleoclimate record indicates that a long interval of global cooling took place, punctuated by …

The first major build-up of Antarctic glaciation occurred in two consecutive stages across the
Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT): the EOT-1 cooling event at~ 34.1–33.9 Ma and the Oi-1 …

Tibetan Plateau uplift has been suggested as the main driving force for mid-latitude Asian
inland aridity (AIA) and for deposition of thick aeolian sequences in northern China since the …
