The peopling of Tibet

Science, 2017
Archaeology The date of the first permanent human occupation of the high Tibetan Plateau has been estimated at about 3600 years ago, when agriculture became established. Meyer et al. used several dating techniques to analyze sediments at a high-altitude site (4270 m) where human handprints and footprints have been found.

Revealing the scale- and location-specific controlling factors of soil organic carbon in Tibet

, 2021
Soil organic carbon (SOC) leads to a significant impact on global carbon (C) cycling and soil quality. Variations in SOC are controlled by vegetation, geomorphic, geological and climatic factors, but the dominant environmental differs.

Recent acceleration of thaw slumping in permafrost terrain of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: An example from the Beiluhe Region

Geomorphology, 2019
Thaw slump activity has recently increased in permafrost areas of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Thaw slumps may influence the stability of infrastructure and impact global biogeochemical cycles.
