Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]
Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth
