[PDF][PDF] Why 'the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau'is a myth
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 …

Expanded lacustrine sedimentation in the Qaidam Basin on the northern Tibetan Plateau: Manifestation of climatic wetting during the Oligocene icehouse
Abstract The Qaidam Basin in the core area of arid Inner Asia has been considered
undergoing continuous aridification over the Cenozoic. However, the Qaidam Basin is …
