The Tibetan Antelope Population Depends on Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau
Animals, 2023 The influence of freshwater ecosystems on terrestrial taxa in high-altitude regions with challenging access, such as the Tibetan Plateau, remains inadequately understood. This knowledge gap is particularly significant due to the fragility of these ecosystems, characterized by low primary productivity.

The mechanics of the Tibetan Plateau
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1988 Abstract 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 ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 The response of lake-terminating glaciers to climate change is complex, and their rapid changes are often closely linked to glacial-lake outburst floods. However, the eastern Tanggula Mountains, which are the only area where lake-terminating glaciers are

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 ...

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 ...

The Restoration Potential of the Grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 While the alpine grassland ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) have generally improved in recent years, some grasslands still suffer from varying degrees of degradation. Studying the restoration potential (R) of the grasslands on the TP is crucial to the conservation and restoration of its alpine grassland ecosystems.

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

Enhancing lake identification in Alpine periglacial environments by leveraging the global context of transformers [PDF]
The CryosphereLakes in alpine periglacial environments, as sensitive indicators of cryospheric change, are undergoing rapid expansion under global warming. Investigating their evolving distribution is essential for understanding climate impacts and assessing ...
