Debate continues over whether global cooling or uplift of the Tibetan Plateau provided the
first-order driver for the aridification (moisture levels) of Central Asia throughout the Mid …

The Asian interior contains the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB, the longest accretionary
orogen on Earth), the largest mid-latitude desert, and the most widespread late Cenozoic …

Measurements at∼ 400 campaign‐style GPS points and another 14 continuously recording
stations in central Asia define variations in their velocities both along and across the Kyrgyz …

Abstract The Cenozoic terrestrial, intermontane Qaidam Basin on the northeastern edge of
the Tibetan Plateau contains> 12 km of sedimentary rocks that potentially document the …

The closed inland Qaidam Basin in the NE Tibetan Plateau contains possibly the world's
thickest (∼ 12,000 m) continuous sequence of Cenozoic fluviolacustrine sedimentary rocks …

The timing of uplift of the Tibet Plateau has a central role in the development of tectonic
models for the Tibet Plateau and Cenozoic global climate change. A detailed …

As a typical intracontinental orogenic belt, the Tian Shan range is a natural lab for the
understanding of ongoing intraplate deformation and related geodynamic mechanisms …

Abstract Sedimentary deposits in Tibetan Basins archive the spatial‐temporal patterns of the
deformation and surface uplift processes that created the area's high topography during the …

The source-to-sink fluctuations of Asian aeolian deposits have been investigated over the
past two decades using multiple mineralogical and geochemical tracers. These source …

With its central position between the Tibetan Plateau and the Tian Shan Range, the Tarim
Basin is a key element of the Cenozoic Asian orogenic system. However, a comprehensive …
