Timing and mechanisms of Tibetan Plateau uplift
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 …

Quantitatively tracking the elevation of the Tibetan Plateau since the cretaceous: Insights from whole‐rock Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios
Crustal thickness, elevation, and Sr/Y and (La/Yb) N of magmatic rocks are strongly
correlated for subduction‐related and collision‐related mountain belts. We quantitatively …

The evolution of hydroclimate in Asia over the Cenozoic: A stable-isotope perspective
JKC Rugenstein, CP Chamberlain - Earth-Science Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
Links between tectonics and regional climate have been extensively studied in Asia.
However, despite decades of research, the relative roles of tectonics and global climate in …

A proxy for all seasons? A synthesis of clumped isotope data from Holocene soil carbonates
Soil carbonates are important paleoclimate archives, but interpretations of their isotopic
compositions (δ 18 O, δ 13 C, and Δ 47) are hampered by uncertainty in the annual timing of …

[PDF][PDF] Jurassic to Neogene quantitative crustal thickness estimates in southern Tibet
Recent empirical calibrations of Sr/Y and La/Yb from intermediate igneous rocks as proxies
of crustal thickness yield discrepancies when applied to high ratios from thick crust. We …

Uplift of the Tibetan Plateau driven by mantle delamination from the overriding plate
The geodynamic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau remains highly debated. Any model of its
evolution must explain the plateau's growth as constrained by palaeo-altitude studies, the …

Initial growth of the northern Lhasaplano, Tibetan Plateau in the early Late Cretaceous (ca. 92 Ma)
Constraining the growth of the Tibetan Plateau in time and space is critical for testing
geodynamic models and climatic changes at the regional and global scale. The Lhasa block …

A history of the Asian monsoon and its interactions with solid Earth tectonics in Cenozoic South Asia
Although there is some evidence for an Eocene monsoon, the most important intensification
