The uplift of orogenic plateaus has been assumed to be coincident with the fluvial incision of
the gorges that commonly cut plateau margins. The Mekong River, which drains the eastern …

Views differ on the uplift history of the SE Tibetan Plateau and causal geodynamic
mechanisms, yet reliable age-constrained paleoaltimetry in this region could test growth …

The uplift of eastern Tibet, Asian monsoon development and the evolution of globally
significant Asian biodiversity are all linked, but in obscure ways. Sedimentology …

The biodiversity of the Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains and Tibet, here collectively termed

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 …

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 …
