Stratigraphic signatures of convergent orogenesis from the plate interior : studies from Tibet and the southern Rocky Mountains
… climatic feedback. Through these studies of the basin records of orogenesis in the Qaidam basin of northern Tibet and the southern Rocky Mountain basins of North America, we provide new constraints on the timing of deformation, the development of proximal basins, and the evolution of …

The role of wind and water in shaping earth's plateaus
… wind-erosion rates are quantified in the arid Qaidam Basin of NW Tibet over millennial timescales using cosmogenic radionuclide dating; (2) present-day stable isotope composition in rainfall is examined across the south-central Andes in three transects between 22° S and 28° S; these data are …

Seismic attenuation of regional phases in the northern Middle East and the Tibetan Plateau
… northernmost Tibetan Plateau and high Q in the Qaidam basin. My method to solve site responses can be applied in earthquake hazard studies. Azimuthal anisotropy of Q has been observed, which is probably related to focusing/defocusing or crustal anisotropy. Intrinsic attenuation could be isolated …

Regional dynamical downscaling and analysis of water balance across different regions and time scales
… regions: the Galápagos Archipelago (GA), the Qaidam Basin (QB), and the Berlin-Brandenburg region in Germany (BB). The studies in these regions, characterised by unique climatic and geographic challenges, demonstrate the ability of RDD to resolve regional- and meso-scale processes and improve …

WRF-based dynamical downscaling over High Mountain Asia
… states and reveal its role in maintaining the Qaidam mega-lake system during the mid-Pliocene. An increase of the water balance (∆S), i.e., the change in terrestrial water storage was found, when the mid-Pliocene climate is imposed on the Qaidam Basin (QB) with its modern land surface settings. …

Provenance and sedimentology of Red Clay and loess in northern China
… a combination of tectonic movements in the Weihe Basin and in the Yellow River floodplain north of the MLP around 240 ka. Subsequent rapid fluvial incision in the northern part of the Weihe Basin resulted in increased sediment flux being transported to the lower reach of the Yellow River. Tectonic …
