The Forming Age and the Evolution Process of the Brine Lithium Deposits in the Qaidam Basin Based on Geochronology and Mineral Composition

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Lithium ore deposits are divided into pegmatite and brine deposits. The Puna Plateau and the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are home to the most abundant brine lithium deposits worldwide.

Unraveling the South–North Dipole in August Precipitation–Surface Air Temperature Relationship Over the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesAtmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
This finding shows a pronounced south–north dipole pattern in the precipitation–surface air temperature (SAT) relationship, which was characterized by negative/positive correlations over the southern/northern TP, respectively. In the southern TP, increased precipitation leads to a reduction in surface shortwave radiation downward (SSRD), thereby ...

Characteristics of Lacustrine Diamictite and Analysis of Diagenetic Reservoir Facies in the Neogene Lower Youshashan Formation in the Dafengshan Tectonic Belt in the Qaidam Basin

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1976-1989, April 2026.
Based on field outcrop data, core descriptions, comprehensive thin section data (plain, cast, and fluorescent), scanning electron microscopy, whole rock analysis via X‐ray diffraction, physical property tests, element logging, core recording, and oil pilot tests, we propose utilizing a mature and practical three component classification method for ...

A Database of Low‐Temperature Thermochronology in East Asia

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
Spatial distribution of low‐temperature thermochronology samples in East Asia. ABSTRACT The low closure temperature of the dating system in low‐temperature thermochronology allows shallow crustal movements to be recorded. In recent decades, this approach has been used extensively in studies of orogenic belt exhumation, sedimentary basin evolution, and ...

Climax of Late Paleoproterozoic Rift‐Related Magmatism in the Columbia Supercontinent: Insights From a 1.77–1.76 Ga Large Igneous Province of the Dunhuang Block, Northwest China

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Widespread mafic magmatism at ca. 1.8–1.7 Ga across fragments of the Columbia supercontinent records a transition in the Earth's supercontinent cycle. The paleogeographic position of the Dunhuang Block in northwestern China within Columbia, and its role in this tectonic reorganization, remain controversial.

Projected Declining Cryospheric Meltwater and Its Impact on River Runoff Under Climate Change on the Interior Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Source Region of the Yangtze River (SRYR), located on the hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), is significantly affected by cryospheric components such as snow, permafrost and glaciers. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the contribution of cryospheric meltwater to river runoff and its potential changes in a ...

The Paleo‐Tethys Suture Zone in the Afghan Hindu Kush‒Pamir: Geo‐Thermochronology, Geochemistry, Tectonics

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Afghan Hindu Kush, the 223–209 Ma (≤800°C) Salang batholith is part of the Silk‐Road magmatic arc that was built on ∼40‐km‐thick Turan‐Karakum block continental crust. The batholith constitutes the hanging wall of the Herat‐Panjshir‐Badakhshan—the Paleo‐Tethys—suture zone, vestige of the subducted Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic Paleo‐Tethys ...

Distribution of Actual Evapotranspiration over Qaidam Basin, an Arid Area in China [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2013
Evapotranspiration is a major loss flux of the water balance in arid and semi-arid areas. The estimation of actual evapotranspiration has significance for hydrological and environmental purposes. The Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) algorithm was applied to estimate actual evapotranspiration in the Qaidam Basin and its eight hydrological sub ...

Intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation Triggered the Red Clay to Loess‐Paleosol Shift on the Chinese Loess Plateau 2.7 Million Years Ago

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Widespread aeolian loess‐paleosol and red clay sediments on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) provide a globally unique terrestrial archive of Neogene–Quaternary climate. However, the timing and associated mechanisms of red clay to loess‐paleosol shift remain debated.

Pore structure and fluid mobility of tight carbonate reservoirs in the Western Qaidam Basin, China

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2023
Tight carbonate reservoirs in the Western Qaidam Basin have complex lithologies and pore structures. The oil–water mobility law in reservoirs has not yet been completely determined, restricting the formulation of rational reservoir development methods ...
