Pulsed rise and growth of the Tibetan Plateau to its northern margin since ca. 30 Ma
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance The formation of the Qaidam basin in the northeastern Tibet marked the onset of crustal deformation that propagated from the Indo-Asia collision zone to the northern margins of the Tibetan Plateau during the Cenozoic time.

Plant uptake of CO2 outpaces losses from permafrost and plant respiration on the Tibetan Plateau
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Cold regions contain vast stores of permafrost carbon. Rapid warming will cause permafrost to thaw and plant respiration to accelerate, with a resultant loss of CO2, but could also increase the fixation of CO2 by plants. A network of 32 eddy

An overview of Old Tibetan synchronic phonology [PDF]
, 2010 Despite the importance of Old Tibetan in the Tibeto-Burman language family, little research has treated Old Tibetan synchronic phonology. This article gives a complete overview of the Old Tibetan phonemic system by associating sound values with the ...

Immunoglobulins in Tibetans [PDF]
Nature, 1967 INFORMATION about increased gamma-globulins in certain ethnic communities is rare and as far as we know extends only to Navajo Indians, Puerto Ricans and certain American Negroes1–3. There has been no convincing explanation for this phenomenon. We discuss here racial differences in the synthesis of gamma-globulins, and increased exposure to chronic ...

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 ...

Nonlinearity, 2011 We present the results of an experimental investigation of the acoustics and fluid dynamics of Tibetan singing bowls. Their acoustic behavior is rationalized in terms of the related dynamics of standing bells and wine glasses. Striking or rubbing a fluid-filled bowl excites wall vibrations, and concomitant waves at the fluid surface.

Why ‘the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ is a myth
National Science Review, 2020 The often-used phrase ‘the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ implies a flat-surfaced Tibet rose as a coherent entity, and that uplift was driven entirely by the collision and northward movement of India.

The ERA5-Land soil temperature bias in permafrost regions [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 ERA5-Land (ERA5L) is a reanalysis product derived by running the land component of ERA5 at increased resolution. This study evaluates ERA5L soil temperature in permafrost regions based on observations and published permafrost products. We find that ERA5L
