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 …

Quaternary aeolian silts in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) has long been regarded as a
product of sand ablation during the process of transportation originally from sandy deserts of …

The Cenozoic growth history of the northeast (NE) Tibetan Plateau has been strongly
debated in the past few years with three deformation models being proposed: progressive …

Sedimentary rocks in northern Tibet record uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and its potential
connection with the evolution of the central Asian aridity, therefore offering a typical example …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau was built through a succession of Gondwanan terranes
colliding with Asia during the Mesozoic. These accretions produced a complex Paleogene …

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 …

Abstract The Qilian Shan on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau contains
