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 …

The lateral movement of drainage divides is co-influenced by tectonics, lithology, and
climate and therefore archives a wealth of geologic and climatic information. It also has wide …

Provenance tools, particularly detrital zircon U–Pb analysis, have been widely employed to
test drainage network evolution in southeast Tibet and its linkage with the growth of the …

Groundwater is a precious resource that is vital for human life. Widespread human activities
occur in the Sichuan basin due to befitting climate and geological conditions, inducing a …

It is generally agreed that the channel‐head steady‐state elevations (zs) across a drainage
divide are different when the drainage divide is moving. However, whether it is the hillslope …

Abstract The Cenozoic India‐Asia collision has elevated the Tibetan Plateau and produced
large strike‐slip faults in the interior and margins of the plateau, which profoundly influenced …

Drainage divides can become unstable due to tectonic disturbances and therefore can be
used to constrain past tectonic activity. However, many studies have focused mainly on the …

The origin of the First Bend of the Yangtze River is key to understanding the birth of the
modern Yangtze River. Despite considerable efforts, the timing and mechanism of formation …

The Qinling Shan is located between the North China Craton and the South China Block.
Not only is investigating the exhumation process of the Qinling Shan beneficial for …

The evolutionary history of the Yangtze River plays a key role for understanding the
