Cenozoic climatic and environmental changes in the Qaidam Basin

, 2015
Large discrepancies remain regarding the timing of Cenozoic paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental transitions in the central Asia. The first order driving force behind these changes has been intensively debated. Global climate change, the uplift of Tibetan Plateau, and the evolution of Paratethys sea have been proposed as three major candidates.

Source and genesis of Ca-Cl type brines in Qaidam Basin, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: evidence from hydrochemistry as well as B and Li isotopes

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Ca-Cl brine is a highly mineralized special water body occurring in oceanic ridges or basins. The deep part of the western Qaidam Basin is rich in Ca-Cl brine, which is essential for the formation of (MgSO4-deficient) potash deposits. Previous studies on

Spatial Downscaling of Satellite-Based Precipitation Data over the Qaidam Basin, China

Remote Sensing
High-spatiotemporal-resolution precipitation data are essential for studies on regional hydrology, meteorology, and ecological conservation. Because the Qaidam Basin is a data-scarce region with a few ground stations and coarse-resolution remote sensing ...

Ordovician 40Ar/39Ar phengite ages from the blueschist-facies Ondor Sum subduction-accretion complex (Inner Mongolia) and implications for the early Paleozoic history of continental blocks in China and adjacent areas

, 2006
We obtained 453.2 ± 1.8 Ma and 449.4 ± 1.8 Ma (2{sigma}) laser step-heating 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages for phengite from quartzite mylonites from the blueschist-facies Ondor Sum subduction-accretion complex in Inner Mongolia (northern China).
