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 …

Large earthquakes initiate chains of surface processes that last much longer than the brief
moments of strong shaking. Most moderate‐and large‐magnitude earthquakes trigger …

Origins of an alpine flora The evolution of high mountain floras is strongly influenced by
tectonic and climatic history. Ding et al. document the timing, tempo, and mode by which the …

The onset of mountain building along margins of the Tibetan Plateau provides a key
constraint on the processes by which the high topography in Eurasia formed. Although …

A common hypothesis for the rich biodiversity found in mountains is uplift-driven
diversification—that orogeny creates conditions favoring rapid in situ speciation of resident …

The often-used phrase 'the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau'implies a flat-surfaced Tibet rose as a
coherent entity, and that uplift was driven entirely by the collision and northward movement …

Summary The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) sensu lato (sl), comprising the platform, the
Himalaya and the Hengduan Mountains, is characterized by a large number of endemic …

Abstract The East Asian continent records a complex geologic and tectonic history that
involved the amalgamation of several small-to medium-sized blocks from Laurasia or …

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 …

The lateral expansion of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau causes devastating earthquakes,
but is poorly understood. In particular, the links between regional variations in surface …
