The gravity and isostatic Moho undulations in Qinghai–Tibet plateau

Journal of Geodynamics, 2000
Abstract It is our interest to study the Moho depths in the Qinghai–Tibet. An iterative hybrid spectral–classical methodology is applied to invert the gravity data and obtain the 3D variation in Moho depth. The gravity inversion is constrained by results from deep seismic sounding and seismological investigations.

Pastoral farming on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

2018
We report on pastoral farming systems in Henan County (altitude 3600 metres) within the Sanjiangyuan (Three-River Headwaters) Region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Our information comes from in-depth interviews of 16 pastoral farming families, one focus group, plus discussions with key local informants.

Behavioral mechanisms of male sterilization on plateau pika in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau

Behavioural Processes, 2012
Fertility control is an alternative non-lethal method in the management of rodents. Previous modeling suggests that the efficacy of male sterilization depends on mating systems of animals, but behavioral mechanisms of male sterilization have not been investigated. Here we investigated the behavioral mechanism of the sterilant quinestrol in reducing the

A Study on the Detection of Deformation of Tuotuohe Area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021
In permafrost regions, the ground surface deformation is closely related to the ice-water phase transition process in active layer and underground ice. It is of great significance to carry out ground surface deformation detection research for understanding the development of permafrost in the Qinghai- Tibet Plateau. The InSAR technology has been proved

Microplastics in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau lakes, China

Science of The Total Environment
As an emerging environmental pollutant, microplastics (MPs) have received widespread attention. Recently, studies examining microplastic pollution in plateau lakes have been increasing, but few have examined the distributions, sources, and fates of MPs in different plateau areas. In this work, the abundances and characteristics of MPs in surface waters

The process and mechanism of the rise of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Tectonophysics, 1996
Abstract During the period from the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau started a new stage of continental collision, crustal shortening and thickening and continuous rise. The rising process of the Plateau progressed through three stages: rise due to subduction collision, rise due to convergence compression and rise due to isostatic

The Electrical Structure of Northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2005
The electrical conductivity model of the crust beneath northeastern Qinghai-Tibet is obtained from inverting TE and TM mode responses simultaneously using the non-linear conjugate gradient inversion (NLCG) algorithm. The result shows that there exist high electrical conductivity layers in the middle and lower crust beneath the northeastern Qinghai ...

Prevalence of Eimeria Infection in Yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China

Journal of Parasitology, 2012
Few data are available on the prevalence of Eimeria spp. in yaks. An observational study was conducted to determine the prevalence of coccidial infection in yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China. A total of 324 fecal samples from 4 counties was examined, and oocysts were identified to the species level on the basis of morphological features ...
