The origin and development of the major rivers in the eastern Tibetan Plateau have been a
special focus of research because of the close links recognized between river formation …

Understanding the tectonics that gave rise to the formation of Tibet is critical to our
understanding of crustal deformation processes. The unusual geomorphology of the …

Radiogenic elements, such as neodymium (Nd) and strontium (Sr), are commonly used to
decipher the provenance and weathering histories of bulk siliciclastic sediments worldwide …

Silicate weathering plays a key role in maintaining a habitable climate on Earth. Although
the climate-weathering link has been verified by observations on river geochemistry and …

Cenozoic mountain building in Asia has been proposed as an important control over global
climate by atmospheric CO 2 drawdown through silicate weathering and burial of organic …

The timing of tectonic uplift in the Himalayan orogen, the highest mountain range on the
Earth, remains controversial due to a lack of long-term continuous records. Here, we provide …

Large rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau play a crucial role in sediment production
and transportation and thus influence the ocean composition and global climate. This study …

Modern source-to-sink processes in the southern South China Sea (SCS) remain poorly
understood. In this study, clay minerals and magnetic properties are used to identify the …

Abstract The lacustrine Lucaogou Formation was deposited during the middle Permian in
the Junggar Basin, northwestern China. The depositional environment was an alkaline …

Arc–continent collision is a fundamental stage in the plate-tectonic cycle that allows the
continental crust to grow and can influence global climate through chemical weathering …
