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 ...

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.

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 &#8220;world water tower&#8221; because it stores large amounts of water as glaciers, lakes, and rivers ...
