Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas
Adrien Favre,Martin Päckert,Steffen U. Pauls,Sonja C. Jähnig,Dieter Uhl,Ingo Michalak,Alexandra N. Muellner-Riehl +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the biological consequences of the uplift of the QTP would be best understood using a meta‐analysis approach, encompassing studies on a variety of organisms from diverse habitats (forests, meadows, rivers), and thermal belts (montane, subalpine, alpine, nival).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing chemical weathering, physical erosion and monsoon intensity since 25 Ma in the northern South China Sea: A review of competing proxies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new Sr isotope, grain-size and clastic flux data and synthesize existing proxies to reconstruct changing chemical erosion in the northern South China Sea since the Oligocene, using the links between weathering rates and monsoon strength established in younger sediments as a way to infer intensity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize existing clay mineralogical and geochemical data from similar to 1500 samples from the seafloor and surrounding rivers, deepwater mooring observation results, and high resolution glacial-cyclic clay mineralogy records from six high-quality sediment cores.
Journal ArticleDOI
What controlled Mid-Late Miocene long-term aridification in Central Asia? - Global cooling or Tibetan Plateau uplift: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the evolution of Miocene climate (both moisture and temperature) within five separate regions of Eurasia to help understand the large scale controls of long-term moisture in Central Asia.

An end-member algorithm for deciphering modern detrital processes from lake sediments of Lake Donggi Cona, NE Tibetan Plateau, China
Elisabeth Dietze,Kai Hartmann,Bernhard Diekmann,Janneke IJmker,Frank Lehmkuhl,Stephan Opitz,Georg Stauch,Bernd Wünnemann,Andreas Borchers +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a flexible end-member modelling algorithm was proposed for the unmixing of grain-size distributions in the lake sediment data set, which is based on eigenspace analysis and considers inherent uncertainties.

Trends, Rhythms, and Aberrations in Global Climate 65 Ma to Present
TL;DR: This work focuses primarily on the periodic and anomalous components of variability over the early portion of this era, as constrained by the latest generation of deep-sea isotope records.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronology of fluctuating sea levels since the triassic.
TL;DR: An effort has been made to develop a realistic and accurate time scale and widely applicablechronostratigraphy and to integrate depositional sequences documented in public domain outcrop sections from various basins with this chronostratigraphic framework.

Statistics and data analysis in geology
TL;DR: In this article, a thoroughly revised edition presents important methods in the quantitative analysis of geologic data, such as probability, nonparametric statistics, and Fourier analysis, as well as data analysis methods such as the semivariogram and the process of kriging.

World-Wide Delivery of River Sediment to the Oceans
John D. Milliman,Robert H. Meade +1 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that rivers with large sediment loads (annual discharges greater than about $15 \times 10^{6}$ tons) contribute about $7 −times 10 −9$ tons of suspended sediment to the ocean yearly.

Oblique Stepwise Rise and Growth of the Tibet Plateau
Paul Tapponnier,Xu Zhiqin,Françoise Roger,Bertrand Meyer,N. Arnaud,Gérard Wittlinger,Yang Jingsui +6 more
TL;DR: Two end member models of how the high elevations in Tibet formed are (i) continuous thickening and widespread viscous flow of the crust and mantle of the entire plateau and (ii) time-dependent, localized shear between coherent lithospheric blocks.
