The Impact of Orography and Latent Heating on the Location of the Tropical Easterly Jet [PDF]

, 2013
The Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ) is a prominent atmospheric circulation feature observed during the Asian Summer Monsoon. It is generally assumed that Tibet is an essential ingredient in determining the location of the TEJ.

Focus on the impact of climate change on wetland ecosystem and carbon dynamics [PDF]

, 2016
The renewed growth in atmospheric methane (CH4)since 2007 after a decade of stabilization has drawn much attention to its causes and future trends. Wetlands are the single largest source of atmospheric CH4.

The Western End of the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 1989
The Tibetan plateau terminates between the NW-SE oriented, right-lateral strike slip Karakorum fault and the E-W oriented, left-lateral strike slip Altyn-Tagh fault, forming a wedge from wich Tibet is now being extruded eastwards.

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Thermal field over Tibetan Plateau and Indian summer monsson rainfall [PDF]

, 2003
The interannual variability of the temperature anomalies over the Tibetan Plateau (25-45 °N, 75-105 °E) is examined in relation to the Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR: June to September total rainfall).

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Projected soil carbon loss with warming in constrained Earth system models

Nature Communications
The soil carbon-climate feedback is currently the least constrained component of global warming projections, and the major source of uncertainties stems from a poor understanding of soil carbon turnover processes.

Heterogeneous changes in global glacial lakes under coupled climate warming and glacier thinning

Communications Earth & Environment
Global glacial lakes have expanded markedly in recent decades, accompanied by many catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods. However, our understanding of glacial lake evolution and connections with global warming and glacier thinning remains ...
