Timing and mechanisms of Tibetan Plateau uplift
The timing of the initial India–Asia collision and the mechanisms that led to the eventual
formation of the high (> 5 km) Tibetan Plateau remain enigmatic. In this Review, we describe …

Along‐strike variation in the initiation timing of the north‐trending rifts in southern Tibet as revealed from the Yadong‐Gulu rift
A key issue in the Cenozoic evolution of the Tibetan plateau is the geodynamic drivers for
north‐trending rifting in southern Tibet. Recent studies have demonstrated an eastward …
