Modern dust aerosol availability in northwestern China

Scientific Reports, 2017
The sources of modern dust aerosols and their emission magnitudes are fundamental for linking dust with climate and environment. Using field sample data, wind tunnel experiments and statistical analysis, we determined the contributions of wadis, gobi ...

The growth of northeastern Tibet and its relevance to large-scale continental geodynamics: A review of recent studies [PDF]

, 2013
Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet began essentially at the time of collision with India, not 10–20 Myr ...

Three-dimensional structural model of the Qaidam basin: Implications for crustal shortening and growth of the northeast Tibet

Open Geosciences, 2017
The Qaidam basin, bounded by the Altyn Tagh fault in the north, is located in the northeast of the Tibet plateau, and it has important implications for understanding the history and mechanism of Tibetan plateau formation during the Cenozoic Indo-Eurasia ...

The spatial variation of Asian dust and marine aerosol contributions to glaciochemical signals in central Asia [PDF]

, 1992
Short-term (6 months to 17 years) glaciochemical records have been collected from several glacier basins in the mountains of central Asia. The spatial distribution of snow chemistry in central Asia is controlled by the influx of dust from the large ...

Future Changes in the Atmospheric Water Cycle Over the Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) atmospheric water cycle (TPAWC), involving moisture sources, transport, and sinks with the TP precipitation and evaporation, faces unclear changes under global warming. This study projects TPAWC changes under two Shared Socio‐economic Pathways scenarios (SSP245 and SSP585) using Lagrangian moisture tracking.

Defining a 3-dimensional trishear parameter space to understand the temporal evolution of fault propagation folds [PDF]

, 2014
The application of trishear, in which deformation occurs in a triangular zone in front of a propagating fault tip, is often used to understand fault related folding.
