Transient fluvial incision in the headwaters of the Yellow River, northeastern Tibet, China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used topographic analysis of channel profiles combined with field measurements of erosion rates to explore the distribution of channel incision in the Anyemaqen Shan, a broad mountainous region in the northeastern Tibetan plateau.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A reanalysis of the Irrawaddy data from the original 550-page report of Gordon covering 10 yr of discharge (1869-1879) and 1 yr of sediment concentration measurements (1877-1878) is presented in this article.

Quaternary glaciation of Mount Everest
Lewis A. Owen,Ruth Robinson,Douglas I. Benn,Douglas I. Benn,Robert C. Finkel,Nicole K. Davis,Chaolu Yi,Jaakko Putkonen,Dewen Li,Andrew S. Murray +9 more
TL;DR: The Quaternary glacial history of the Rongbuk valley on the northern slopes of Mount Everest was examined using field mapping, geomorphic and sedimentological methods, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and 10 Be terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) dating.
