The Mechanical Impact of the Tibetan Plateau on the Seasonal Evolution of the South Asian Monsoon [PDF]
, 2012 The impact of the Tibetan Plateau on the South Asian monsoon is examined using a hierarchy of atmospheric general circulation models. During the premonsoon season and monsoon onset (April–June), when westerly winds over the Southern Tibetan Plateau are ...

Patterns and Drivers of Spontaneous Plant Diversity in Urban Wastelands Across 17 Cities on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe first regional survey of spontaneous plant communities across 17 cities on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau shows that natural climatic conditions, especially precipitation and wind speed, are the primary drivers of variation in community diversity, while urbanization and habitat quality jointly structure plant community composition.

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
, 2020 Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.

Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]
, 2017 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

The effective elastic thickness of the India Plate from receiver function imaging, gravity anomalies and thermomechanical modelling [PDF]
, 2006 The range and the meaning of the effective elastic thickness (EET) in continental areas have been subject to controversy over the last two decades. Here we take advantage of the new data set from the Hi-CLIMB seismological experiment to re-estimate the ...
