The Western End of the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
, 1989 The Tibetan plateau terminates between the NW-SE oriented, right-lateral strike slip Karakorum fault and the E-W oriented, left-lateral strike slip Altyn-Tagh fault, forming a wedge from wich Tibet is now being extruded eastwards.

Biodiversity of the oleaginous microorganisms in Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2012 Microbial lipids, which are also known as single cell oils (SCO), are produced by oleaginous microorganisms including oleaginous bacteria, yeast, fungus and algae through converting carbohydrates into lipids under certain conditions. Due to its unique environment having extremely low temperature and anoxia, the Tibetan Plateau is amongst the regions ...

A comprehensive water bodies dataset of high-mountain Asia
Scientific DataHigh-Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts numerous water bodies that are highly sensitive to climate change. However, many of them, especially small ones, remain understudied due to the region’s complex terrain and extreme environmental conditions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Whole‐genome analysis of 1,054 chickens reveals three ancestral sources (NWC, SYA, and SHF) with distinct temporal entry patterns into the Tibetan Plateau. Route‐specific selection scans, calibrated against a demographic null, suggest complementary functional enrichments—vascular homeostasis (NWC), calcium signaling and cardiac adaptation (SYA), and ...

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 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The biomimetic self‐assembly nanomedicine reversing atherosclerosis via senotherapy strategy. ABSTRACT The greatest challenge in atherosclerosis (AS) management lies in achieving lesion reversal, not merely slowing progression. Senescent cell accumulation—driven by continuous generation and apoptotic resistance—perpetuates plaque pathology and ...

A New Method of Diagnosing the Historical and Projected Changes in Permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau
Earth's FutureThe Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the largest permafrost distribution zone at high‐altitude in the mid‐latitude region. Climate change has caused significant permafrost degradation on the TP, which has important impacts for the eco‐hydrological processes.

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.
