Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

摘要青藏高原晚新生代的扩展和隆升对周边环境演变产生重大影响, 确定扩展和隆升的起始年代
是一个重要的科学问题. 近年来在六盘山, 积石山和祁连山及其相邻盆地的研究表明 …

Construction of the Andes has been governed largely by fluctuating contractional, neutral,
and extensional tectonic regimes during differing degrees of mechanical coupling along the …

The Arabia‐Eurasia collision deforms an area of∼ 3,000,000 km2 of continental crust,
making it one of the largest regions of convergent deformation on Earth. There are now …

The Qaidam basin is the largest topographic depression inside the Tibetan plateau.
Because of its central position, understanding the tectonic origin of the Qaidam basin has …

Cenozoic Qaidam basin, the largest active intermountain basin inside Tibet, figures
importantly in the debates on the history and mechanism of Tibetan plateau formation during …

We review the role of landslides in current concepts of the topographic development of
mountain ranges. We find that many studies in this field address basin-or orogen-scale …

There remains substantial debate concerning the relative roles of tectonics and of global
climate in pacing the evolution of aridity in Central Asia over the Cenozoic. Tibetan Plateau …

The Liupan Shan Mountain is one of the outermost ranges in northeastern Tibetan Plateau.
The onset of its uplift provides insight on whether the plateau grew sequentially outward or …
