The timing of the initial India–Asia collision and the mechanisms that led to the eventual
formation of the high (> 5 km) Tibetan Plateau remain enigmatic. In this Review, we describe …

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 …

Abstract Traversing the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the Sichuan–Tibet Railway is by far the
most difficult railway project in the world. The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau features the most …

The uplift of the Tibet Plateau (TP) during the Miocene is crucial to understanding the
evolution of Asian monsoon regimes and alpine biodiversity. However, the northern Tibet …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Reconstructing the Paleogene topography and climate of central Tibet informs
understanding of collisional tectonic mechanisms and their links to climate and biodiversity …

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 …

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 …

Jiama is a giant skarn-porphyry deposit in southern Tibet, southwestern China. It is the
largest Cu (~ 7.4 Mt), second largest Au (~ 208 t), and fourth largest Mo (~ 0.62 Mt) skarn …

Ultrahigh-temperature (UHT; T max≥ 900° C) metamorphism requires unusually high heat
in continental crust at depths of 15–55 km, but how such extreme thermal conditions are …
