Echinococcosis transmission on the Tibetan Plateau
2019Since the mid-1990s detailed studies and field investigations on the Tibetan Plateau have revealed human echinococcosis to be an under-reported major public health problem, particularly in the dominant pastoral communities in the eastern and central regions.

Effects of the Tibetan Plateau
2006The Tibetan Plateau (Qinghai–Xizang Plateau) extends over the latitude–longitude domain of 25–458N, 70–1058E, with a size of about one-quarter of the Chinese territory and a mean elevation of more than 4,000m above sea level (Figure 13.1, color section).

The neotectonics of the Tibetan Plateau
Tectonics, 1984Part of the continuing northward convergence between India and Eurasia is probably taken up by strike slip displacement, with Tibet as a whole moving eastward away from the collision zone and undergoing east–west extension (Molnar and Tapponnier, 1975; Ni and York, 1978).

Tectonics, 1985
A history of the elevation and crustal thickness of the Tibetan Plateau since the continental collision at 45 Ma has been computed using a kinematic model based on plate tectonic reconstructions and conservation of crustal volume. In our reconstructions, the Indochina block was attached to the southern margin of Eurasia before being “extruded” to the ...

Atmospheric Transport of Mercury to the Tibetan Plateau
Environmental Science & Technology, 2007The Tibetan Plateau (including the Himalayas) is one of the most remote and cold regions in the world. It has very limited to nonexistent industry but is adjacent to the two most populous and rapidly industrializing countries (China and India) and thus provides a unique location for studying the atmospheric transport of mercury.

Great Himalayan earthquakes and the Tibetan plateau
Nature, 2006It has been assumed that Himalayan earthquakes are driven by the release of compressional strain accumulating close to the Greater Himalaya. However, elastic models of the Indo-Asian collision using recently imaged subsurface interface geometries suggest that a substantial fraction of the southernmost 500 kilometres of the Tibetan plateau participates ...

The Archaeology of the Tibetan Plateau
The Archaeology of the Tibetan Plateau offers a comprehensive survey of past and recent research on the prehistory of the plateau, from its early peopling to the eve of the foundation of the Tibetan Empire in the 7th C. The first English language book-length study of the Tibetan past, it is organized around eight chapters that describe modern and ...Jade D'Alpoim Guedes, Mark Aldenderfer

Tibetan Plateau serves as a water tower
Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005. IGARSS '05., 2005Mountains form a barrier to incoming air masses, and the air cool and precipitation is triggered forced to rise, which is known its the orographic effect. Mountain waters captured at high altitudes are carried under gravity via the stream network or groundwater aquifiers to the lowlands, where the water demand from population centers, agriculture and ...

Early human occupation of the Tibetan Plateau
Science Bulletin, 2018We have already gained a preliminary understanding of the human history of the Tibetan Plateau. However,new questions and challenges are arising at the same time. Future studies need to answer questions like when the EPAS1 gene began to appear in plateau populations, how these populations were related to the Denisovans in the Altai Mountains, and so on.
