DOI: 10.1007/s11430-017-9107-9
Abstract: Lake Zigetang is located on the central Tibetan Plateau (TP) and represents a rare but typical meromictic lake in China. The lake’s stable meromixis sustains microflora communities, and changes in these communities are relatively independent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abj0944
Abstract: Reconstructing the Paleogene topography and climate of central Tibet informs understanding of collisional tectonic mechanisms and their links to climate and biodiversity. Radiometric dates of volcanic/sedimentary rocks and paleotemperatures based on clumped isotopes within ancient… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.aam9444
Abstract: Zhang et al. contest that Chusang was part of an annual mobility round that “more likely” included seasonal use of high-elevation environments than permanent use. We show that their probabilistic statement hinges on indefensible claims… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g51104.1
Abstract: The nature of glaciation (bipolar vs. unipolar) during the Eocene−Oligocene transition (EOT) remains unresolved. Here, we report the occurrence of frost marks, ice-rafted debris (IRD), and glendonites from the Upper Eocene to Lower Oligocene Niubao… read more here.

DOI: 10.1785/0120220247
Abstract: Afterslip could help to reveal seismogenic fault structure. The 2020 Mw 6.3 Nima earthquake happened in a pull-apart basin within the Qiangtang block, central Tibetan plateau. Previous studies have explained the coseismic and early ( read more here.
