Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]
, 2017 Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth

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 growth of northeastern Tibet and its relevance to large-scale continental geodynamics: A review of recent studies [PDF]
, 2013 Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet began essentially at the time of collision with India, not 10–20 Myr ...

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 ...

Interaction of the westerlies with the Tibetan Plateau in determining the Mei-Yu termination [PDF]
, 2020 This study explores how the termination of the mei-yu is dynamically linked to the westerlies impinging on the Tibetan Plateau. It is found that the mei-yu stage terminates when the maximum upper-tropospheric westerlies shift beyond the northern edge of ...

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.

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;
