Precipitation of carbonate minerals in travertine-depositing hot springs: Driving forces, microenvironments, and mechanisms
Travertine-depositing hot springs can generate various carbonate minerals with or without
the participation of microorganisms. They thus serve as good natural laboratories to study …

New evidence of prehistoric human activity on the central Tibetan plateau during the early to middle Holocene
The cold and hypoxic environment of the Tibetan Plateau was a major challenge for its
prehistoric human occupants. The earliest known hominin occupation (or visitation) of the …

Climatic controls on travertine deposition in southern Tibet during the late Quaternary
Large volumes of travertine deposits are preserved at hydrothermal spring sites on the
Tibetan Plateau (TP). Yet, most of these deposits are under-researched with respect to their …

The groundwater deep circulation and large-scale geothermal deposition in response to the extension of the Yadong–Gulu rift, South Tibet, China
J Su, H Tan, X Chen - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract The Yadong–Gulu rift (YGR) is famous for its extensional structure in the
compressional background of Tibet. The mid-crust of the rift is partially molten, which has …
