Cortical Thickness of Native Tibetans in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2017
High-altitude environmental factors and genetic variants together could have exerted their effects on the human brain. The present study was designed to investigate the cerebral morphology in high-altitude native Tibetans.T1-weighted brain images were obtained from 77 Tibetan adolescents on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (altitude, 2300-5300 m) and 80 ...

Enhanced glacial lake activity threatens numerous communities and infrastructure in the Third Pole

Nature Communications, 2023
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are among the most severe cryospheric hazards in the Third Pole, encompassing the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding Himalayas, Hindu Kush, and Tianshan Mountains.

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

Loess Plateau storage of Northeastern Tibetan Plateau-derived Yellow River sediment [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
AbstractMarine accumulations of terrigenous sediment are widely assumed to accurately record climatic- and tectonic-controlled mountain denudation and play an important role in understanding late Cenozoic mountain uplift and global cooling. Underpinning this is the assumption that the majority of sediment eroded from hinterland orogenic belts is ...

The mechanics of the Tibetan Plateau

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1988
Continental convergence results in compressional deformation over a distance, perpendicular to strike, that is comparable to the length of the convergent boundary. The compressional forces generated by the convergence are resisted, to some extent, by the extensional deviatoric stresses arising from isostatically balanced increases in crustal thickness;

Two Contrasting Exhumation Scenarios of Deeply Subducted Continental Crust in North Pakistan

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
In Western Himalayan Syntaxis, the India‐Asia continental collision occurred at ca. 50 Ma, while its uplift history and exhumation mechanism are still in dispute despite decades of studies. A new type of eclogite was found in Naran, located ca.

Legal Complexity on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

The Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law, 2006
AbstractThe dominating nature of the legal and judicial control exercised by the Chinese government over the Tibetan pastoralists of Amdo masks a host of complex relations by which they maintain order. Rather than analysing the relations between them in terms of domination and resistance, it is suggested that there is both adaptation and resistance ...

Effects of phosphorus application on soil phosphorus forms and phoD-harboring microbial communities in an alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Phosphorus (P) application to terrestrial ecosystems affects not only aboveground plants but also soil P forms and phosphatase-associated microbes. The phoD gene is widespread in soil and plays an important role in P transformation.

Spatial and temporal variation of daytime and nighttime MODIS land surface temperature across Nepal

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2019
Land surface temperature (LST) is an important variable for assessing climate change and related environmental impacts observed in recent decades. Regular monitoring of LST using satellite sensors such as MODIS has the advantage of global coverage ...
