New Constraints on the Late Oligocene‐Miocene Thermo‐Tectonic Evolution of the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau From Low‐Temperature Thermochronology
Abstract The southeastern (SE) Tibetan Plateau (Yunnan) is characterized by low‐relief
uplands that were deeply incised by large rivers. The thermal history of basement rocks in …

Oligocene‐Early Miocene topographic relief generation of southeastern Tibet triggered by thrusting
The timing and mechanisms of uplift in southeastern Tibet remain disputed. To address this
debate, we conducted structural and morphological analyses of the Yulong thrust belt; we …
