Cenozoic magnetostratigraphy of the **ning Basin, NE Tibetan Plateau, and its constraints on paleontological, sedimentological and tectonomorphological evolution
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 …

Paleogene integrative stratigraphy and timescale of China
The Paleogene is the first period after the Mesozoic Mass Extinction. Mammals become the
dominant group in the terrestrial ecosystem with a rapid radiation, and Asia has been …

Tibetan plateau aridification linked to global cooling at the Eocene–Oligocene transition
Continental aridification and the intensification of the monsoons in Asia are generally
attributed to uplift of the Tibetan plateau and to the land–sea redistributions associated with …

Low‐temperature thermochronometry along the Kunlun and Haiyuan Faults, NE Tibetan Plateau: Evidence for kinematic change during late‐stage orogenesis
Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is a prime example of a collisional orogen with widespread
strike‐slip faults whose age and tectonic significance remain controversial. We present new …

Paleogene global cooling–induced temperature feedback on chemical weathering, as recorded in the northern Tibetan Plateau
Plate-tectonic processes have long been thought to be the major cause of the Cenozoic
global carbon cycle, and global cooling by uplift of the Tibetan Plateau through enhancing …

Direct dating of Eocene reverse faulting in northeastern Tibet using Ar-dating of fault clays and low-temperature thermochronometry
Paired together, fault gouge dating and low-temperature thermochronometry overcome the
limitations and assumptions inherent in each independent technique. Here we establish …
