Grazing reverses climate-induced soil carbon gains on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Nature Communications
Soil carbon stocks on the Tibetan Plateau are widely considered to be increasingly threatened by drastic climate warming and intensified livestock grazing. But it remains elusive due to unconstrained model projections.

Early warning system for ice collapses and river blockages in the Sedongpu Valley, southeastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings have recently experienced several catastrophic glacier-related disasters. It is of great scientific and practical significance to establish ground-based early warning systems (EWSs) to understand the processes and

Amplification of Warming on the Tibetan Plateau

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023
The accelerated warming over the Tibetan Plateau relative to global means has attracted considerable attention from the scientific community. Nevertheless, the timescale, seasonality and dominant causes of the Tibetan warming amplification have not been discussed.

Why ‘the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ is a myth [PDF]

National Science Review, 2020
AbstractThe 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. Here, we argue that these are misconceptions derived in large part from simplistic geodynamic and climate modeling, as well as proxy ...

The Tibetan Antelope Population Depends on Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau

Animals, 2023
The influence of freshwater ecosystems on terrestrial taxa in high-altitude regions with challenging access, such as the Tibetan Plateau, remains inadequately understood. This knowledge gap is particularly significant due to the fragility of these ecosystems, characterized by low primary productivity.

Inverse altitude effect disputes the theoretical foundation of stable isotope paleoaltimetry

Nature Communications, 2022
The “inverse altitude effect” (IEA) directly contradicts the basic theory of stable isotope paleoaltimetry. This study explores the causes of the IAE from an atmospheric circulation perspective using δD in water vapor on the global scale.

Ultrasound and infections on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Journal of Ultrasound, 2012
The authors report on an ultrasound (US) outreach program for the nomadic people living in Yushu, a remote area of Qinghai, Tibet, People's Republic of China (PRC) about 4800 m above sea level. The program was carried out in cooperation with ROKPA INTERNATIONAL, a non-profit organization (NGO) that aims at helping the poorest peoples living in remote ...

Attribution of the Tibetan Plateau to northern drought [PDF]

National Science Review, 2019
<p>The Tibetan Plateau (TP), which is located in Asia and has an average elevation of over 4000 m, acts as a raised source of heat and an isolated region of humidity in the atmosphere. The TP serves as a “world water tower” because it stores large amounts of water as glaciers, lakes, and rivers ...
