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 …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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 East Asian monsoon plays an integral role in human society, yet its geological history
and controlling processes are poorly understood. Using a general circulation model and …

We reconstruct the rise of a segment of the southern flank of the Himalaya-Tibet orogen, to
the south of the Lhasa terrane, using a paleoaltimeter based on paleoenthalpy encoded in …

Biodiversity is unevenly distributed on Earth and hotspots of biodiversity are often
associated with areas that have undergone orogenic activity during recent geological history …

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 …
