Long-Term Sea-Level Fluctuations Driven by Ocean Basin Dynamics
TL;DR: A mantle convection model is used to suggest that New Jersey subsided by 105 to 180 meters in the past 70 million years because of North America's westward passage over the subducted Farallon plate, which reconciles New Jersey margin–based sea-level estimates with ocean basin reconstructions.

TL;DR: An exhaustive review and reanalysis of geological, paleontological, and molecular records converge upon a cohesive narrative of gradually emerging land and constricting seaways, with formation of the Isthmus of Panama sensu stricto around 2.8 Ma.

Development of the East Asian monsoon: Mineralogical and sedimentologic records in the northern South China Sea since 20 Ma
TL;DR: In this paper, the past change of the East Asian monsoon since 20 Ma using samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1146 in the northern South China Sea based on a multi-proxy approach including a monomineralic quartz isolation procedure, identification of clay minerals by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and grain-size analysis of isolated terrigenous materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on the erosion of Cenozoic Asia and the flux of clastic sediment to the ocean
TL;DR: In this article, a new compilation of seismic data from the marginal seas of Asia now shows that only the Red River reached its historic peak after 4 Ma, and that sediment flux from Asia first peaked in the early-middle Miocene (24-11 Ma), well before the initiation of a glacial climate, indicating that rock uplift and especially precipitation are the key controls on erosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The elevation history of the Tibetan Plateau and its implications for the Asian monsoon
TL;DR: In this paper, a range of tectonic studies suggest that the northern and eastern parts of the plateau are younger geomorphological features, but there are few quantitative constraints of the timing of elevation from these regions of Tibet, and there is a remarkable unanimity amongst the diverse techniques applied that the altitude of the southern plateau has not significantly changed since at least the mid Miocene ( ca. 15 Ma) arguing for an onset of the monsoon system during or before the early Miocene.
