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 …

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

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 …

Knowledge of the topographic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau is essential for
understanding its construction and its influences on climate, environment, and biodiversity …

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 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 …

The Late Paleogene surface height and paleoenvironment for the core area of the Qinghai-
Tibetan Plateau (QTP) remain critically unresolved. Here, we report the discovery of the …

The growth of the Tibetan Plateau throughout the past 66 million years has profoundly
affected the Asian climate, but how this unparalleled orogenesis might have driven …

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 …
