A new approach to stable isotope-based paleoaltimetry: implications for paleoaltimetry and paleohypsometry of the High Himalaya since the Late Miocene
TLDR
In this article, the change in oxygen isotopic composition of precipitation is modeled using equilibrium fractionation during Rayleigh distillation linked to the thermodynamics of atmospheric ascent and water vapor condensation.About:

Palaeo-altimetry of the late Eocene to Miocene Lunpola basin, central Tibet
David B. Rowley,Brian S. Currie +1 more
TL;DR: Estimates of the palaeo-altimetry of late Eocene and younger deposits of the Lunpola basin in the centre of the plateau indicate that the surface of Tibet has been at an elevation of more than 4 kilometres for at least the past 35 million years.

Constraints on the early uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau
Chengshan Wang,Xixi Zhao,Zhifei Liu,Peter C. Lippert,Stephan A. Graham,Robert S. Coe,Haisheng Yi,Lidong Zhu,Shun Liu,Yalin Li +9 more
TL;DR: Geologic and geophysical data from north-central Tibet are presented, including magnetostratigraphy, sedimentology, paleocurrent measurements, and 40Ar/39Ar and fission-track studies, to show that the central plateau was elevated by 40 Ma ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orographic controls on climate and paleoclimate of Asia: thermal and mechanical roles for the Tibetan Plateau.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the high Tibetan plateau may affect the South Asian monsoon less by heating the overlying atmosphere than by simply acting as an obstacle to southward flow of cool, dry air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic and environmental controls on speleothem oxygen-isotope values
TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based summary of the multiple controls on speleothem oxygen-isotope values (d 18 O) in the atmosphere, soil, epikarst, and calcite, illustrated with case studies is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors established a database of precipitation δ18O and used different models to evaluate the climatic controls of precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), revealing three distinct domains associated with the influence of the westerlies (northern TP), Indian monsoon (southern TP), and transition in between.

Jenne,Dennis Joseph +21 more
TL;DR: The NCEP/NCAR 40-yr reanalysis uses a frozen state-of-the-art global data assimilation system and a database as complete as possible, except that the horizontal resolution is T62 (about 210 km) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotopes in precipitation
TL;DR: In this paper, the isotopic fractionation of water in simple condensation-evaporation processes is considered quantitatively on the basis of the fractionation factors given in section 1.2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotopic Variations in Meteoric Waters
TL;DR: The relationship between deuterium and oxygen-18 concentrations in natural meteoric waters from many parts of the world has been determined with a mass spectrometer and shows a linear correlation over the entire range for waters which have not undergone excessive evaporation.
Book ChapterDOI
A revised Cenozoic geochronology and chronostratigraphy
TL;DR: Cande and Kent as mentioned in this paper presented a revised (integrated magnetobiochronologic) Cenozoic time scale (IMBTS) based on an assessment and integration of data from several sources.
