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 …

Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

The strong present-day Asian monsoons are thought to have originated between 25 and 22
million years (Myr) ago, driven by Tibetan–Himalayan uplift. However, the existence of older …

The origins and development of the arid and highly seasonal steppe-desert biome in Central
Asia, the largest of its kind in the world, remain largely unconstrained by existing records. It …

Key in understanding the geodynamics governing subduction and orogeny is reconstructing
the paleogeography of 'Greater India', the Indian plate lithosphere that subducted since …

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 …

Uplift of the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau (HTP) and its linkage with the evolution of the
Asian monsoon has been regarded as a typical example of a tectonic–climate linkage …

There remains substantial debate concerning the relative roles of tectonics and of global
climate in pacing the evolution of aridity in Central Asia over the Cenozoic. Tibetan Plateau …

The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

Abstract The **ning Basin is well known for its thick and continuous sequence of fine-
grained Cenozoic sediments. In addition, it contains important **ejia fauna which define the …
