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 …

The often-used phrase 'the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau'implies a flat-surfaced Tibet rose as a
coherent entity, and that uplift was driven entirely by the collision and northward movement …

Origins of an alpine flora The evolution of high mountain floras is strongly influenced by
tectonic and climatic history. Ding et al. document the timing, tempo, and mode by which the …

The East Asian monsoon plays an integral role in human society, yet its geological history
and controlling processes are poorly understood. Using a general circulation model and …

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 …

The uplift history of south-eastern Tibet is crucial to understanding processes driving the
tectonic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding areas. Underpinning existing …

INTRODUCTION The uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is critical for understanding
the evolution of the Asian monsoons and the geodynamic forces involved in collisional …

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 …

Landscapes on Earth retain a record of the tectonic, environmental and climatic history
under which they formed. Landscapes tend towards an equilibrium in which rivers attain a …

Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and
high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago …
