DOI: 10.1007/s00606-020-01701-8
Abstract: The northern parts of Yunnan belong to ‘Mountains of SW China’ biodiversity hot spot, one of the most species-rich areas on earth. Although some progress, relatively little attention has been given to explore the evolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aeolia.2018.03.006
Abstract: Abstract Wind erosion along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway causes sand hazard and poses threats to the safety of trains and passengers. A coupled land-surface erosion model (Noah-MPWE) was developed to simulate the wind erosion along the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2020.105332
Abstract: Abstract Using the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Edition 4 dataset, characteristics and variations of cloud amounts over the Tibetan Plateau (Tibet) during 2001–2019 was analyzed. Our results reveal that the mid–high cloud… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116493
Abstract: Abstract Broadband and long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data were used to obtain a continuous image of the lithospheric electrical conductivity structure across the southeastern Tibetan Plateau margin, where long-wavelength crustal thickening and surface uplift have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2020.104573
Abstract: Abstract Triassic magmatic rocks are widely exposed in the northern Qiangtang Block in Tibet. However, their petrogenesis and relationship to the evolution of Tethys Ocean are matters of debate. Here we report zircon U-Pb ages,… read more here.

Lithospheric foundering and underthrusting imaged beneath Tibet
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15659
Abstract: Long-standing debates exist over the timing and mechanism of uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and, more specifically, over the connection between lithospheric evolution and surface expressions of plateau uplift and volcanism. Here we show a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2012647117
Abstract: Significance The ancient topography of the Tibetan Plateau and its role in biotic evolution are still poorly understood, mostly due to a lack of fossil evidence. Our discovery of ∼47-Mya plant fossils from a present… read more here.
