摘要
The area and elevation of the Tibetan Plateau over time has directly affected Asia’s topography,the characteristics of the Asian monsoon,and modified global climate—but in ways that are poorly understood.Charting the uplift history is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that link elevation and climate irrespective of time and place.While some palaeoelevation data are available for southern and central Tibet,clues to the uplift history of northern Tibet remain sparse and largely circumstantial.Lately,
