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.

The Geological Evolution of the Tibetan Plateau
Science, 2008The geological evolution of the Tibetan plateau is best viewed in a context broader than the India-Eurasia collision zone. After collision about 50 million years ago, crust was shortened in western and central Tibet, while large fragments of lithosphere moved from the collision zone toward areas of trench rollback in the western Pacific and Indonesia ...

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).

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.

Peopling the Tibetan Plateau: Insights from Archaeology
High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2011Recent studies of the genome of modern Tibetans have revealed the existence of genes thought to provide an adaptive advantage for life at high elevation. Extrapolating from this discovery, some researchers now argue that a Tibetan-Han split occurred no more than 2750 yr ago.

Climate Dynamics, 2018
Based on the Final operational global analysis data from the Global Forecasting System of the National Centers for Environment Prediction and the radiosonde data, the development and eastward movement mechanisms of 15 Tibetan Plateau vortices (TPVs) after they move off the plateau are investigated.

Happiness on the Tibetan Plateau
2012The Tibetan plateau, characterized by high altitude, long winters of extreme cold, and sparse vegetation is arguably among the harshest of populated terrains on the planet. Nonetheless, the Tibetan nomads have survived on the plateau for hundreds of years eking out a meager living predominantly as yak herders.

ABSTRACTThe unique topography and location of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) often result in extreme weather events, which have led to disastrous consequences for the TP and its downstream regions. The TP summer monsoon (TPSM) and the TP vortex (TPV) play key roles in the transfer and redistribution of water vapour during the summer months on the TP and are ...
