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 …

Mountain building results in high erosion rates and the interaction of rocks with the
atmosphere, water and life. Carbon transfers that result from increased erosion could control …

The main problem associated with the study of silicate weathering using river dissolved load
is that the main control of solute chemistry is lithology and that all rivers are influenced by …

We present an integrative model predicting associations among epiphytism, the tank habit,
entangling seeds, C 3 vs. CAM photosynthesis, avian pollinators, life in fertile, moist …

There has been considerable controversy concerning the role of chemical weathering in the
regulation of the atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and thus the strength of the …

This study attempts to characterise the chemical weathering of basalts and to quantify the
flux of carbon transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean during this major process at the …

Abstract The Late Cenozoic closure of the seaway between the North andSouth American
continents is thought to have caused extensive changes in ocean circulation and Northern …

We present river chemistry data for a network of rivers draining the western and central
Nepal Himalaya. Our sampling locations cover the system from the sources of rivers in Tibet …

Continental erosion controls atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on geological timescales
through silicate weathering, riverine transport and subsequent burial of organic carbon in …

A newly constructed record of eolian dust accumulation from the central North Pacific shows
that dust deposition increased by an order of magnitude quite rapidly at 3.6 Ma. We …
