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 …

An increasing number of detrital zircon U–Pb geochronological data have been reported to
trace sediment provenance for the Cenozoic Qaidam basin, which is crucial to …

In arid regions, mountains usually exhibit diverse climates and complex ecological niches,
fostering the formation of “wet islands”. However, the timing and mechanisms behind the …

Abstract The northeastern Tibetan Plateau occupies the northernmost portion of the plateau,
whose timing and pattern of deformation during its Cenozoic tectonic development provide …

Spatial and temporal patterns of mountain building in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau
provide important constraints on competing plateau growth models. We focus on the East …

Abstract During the Late Miocene, the climate patterns and ecosystems of continental land
masses experienced crucial transitions, but whether the principal driver was regional …

Chemical weathering of continental silicates is a crucial geological process in regulating
Earth's long-term climate and participating in global carbon cycle. The increasing aridity and …

Global cooling and the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau have long been considered the crucial
controls of the climate change in inland Asia since the Cenozoic. However, which of these …

The arid interior of Asia is the largest source of dust deposited in the North Pacific Ocean,
and some dust is even transported to Greenland. Investigating the provenance history of …

Previous studies suggest that the northeastern Tibetan Plateau has been the major source
area for the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP); this contribution was used to prove that the …
