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:

The Oxygen and Carbon Isotopic Records of Miocene Sediments in the Tianshui Basin of the Northestern Tibetan Plateau and Their Paleoclimatic Implications
Zhanfang Hou,Jun Zhang,Chunhui Song,Jijun Li,Jia Liu,Shanpin Liu,Zhengchuang Hui,Tingjiang Peng +7 more
TL;DR: Based on the δ18O, δ13C and TOC data along the Xiashan section, the authors deals with the Miocene climatic evolution of the Tianshui basin.

Hydrogeochemical and isotopic evidences of unique groundwater recharge patterns in the Mongolian Plateau
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used remote sensing and isotopic tracing of naturally occurring isotopes (δ18O, δ2H, and 87Sr/86Sr) to identify and quantify the various water inputs into the basin.

Adaptations to a cold climate promoted social evolution in Asian colobine primates
TL;DR: This paper found that colobine primates that inhabit colder environments tend to live in larger, more complex groups, and that these adaptive changes appear to have strengthened interindividual affiliation, increased male-male tolerance, and facilitated the stepwise aggregation from independent one-male groups to large multilevel societies.

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.

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.

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.

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.
