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 …

The often-used phrase 'the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau'implies a flat-surfaced Tibet rose as a
coherent entity, and that uplift was driven entirely by the collision and northward movement …

Reconstructing the Paleogene topography and climate of central Tibet informs
understanding of collisional tectonic mechanisms and their links to climate and biodiversity …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

The onset of mountain building along margins of the Tibetan Plateau provides a key
constraint on the processes by which the high topography in Eurasia formed. Although …

Origins of an alpine flora The evolution of high mountain floras is strongly influenced by
tectonic and climatic history. Ding et al. document the timing, tempo, and mode by which the …

Knowledge of the topographic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau is essential for
understanding its construction and its influences on climate, environment, and biodiversity …

We reconstruct the rise of a segment of the southern flank of the Himalaya-Tibet orogen, to
the south of the Lhasa terrane, using a paleoaltimeter based on paleoenthalpy encoded in …

Biodiversity is unevenly distributed on Earth and hotspots of biodiversity are often
associated with areas that have undergone orogenic activity during recent geological history …

The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …
