![(A) Isotopic composition of the oceans viewed at the time scale of 0–150 k.y., modified after Lisiecki and Raymo (2005). Labels next to peaks and troughs refer to isotopic stages. Stage 5e, for example, represents the last interglacial period. (B) Terrestrial cave speleothem δ18O values from Xiaobailong Cave (XBL) in southeast Tibet (Cai et al., 2015).

![(A) Topographic map of southeast Tibet based on 90-m-resolution Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model, showing the distribution of major river systems, active faults, and historical earthquakes. The main rivers, i.e., Yarlung-Brahmaputra, Nu-Salween, and Jinsha-Yangtze Rivers, are marked by white lines, whereas the Lancang-Mekong River in this study is marked by blue lines, with the Yanjing-Weixi knickzone between Yanjing (YJ) and Weixi (WX) highlighted by the purple line. Yellow rectangles show three study reaches with fluvial terraces along the Lancang River, near Mangkang (MK), Deqin (DQ), and Yunlong (YL). Active faults are marked by red lines with arrows to indicate direction of horizontal motion of main strike-slip faults, based on the work by Tapponnier et al. (2001), Deng et al. (2003), and Taylor and Yin (2009). ANH F.—Anninghe fault; JL F.—Jiali fault; GZ F.—Ganzi fault; XSH F.—Xianshuihe fault; XJ F.—Xiaojiang fault; RR F.—Red River fault; JSR F.—Jinsha River fault; LCR F.—Lancang River fault; NR F.—Nu River fault; NTH F.—Nantinghe fault; SJF—Shijie fault. Historical earthquakes from 780 B.C. to 2008 are cited from China Earthquake Networks Center (http://www.ceic.ac.cn/history). Geographic names include: BT—Batang; ZD—Zhongdian; and WX—Weixi. Yellow star marks the location of the Xiaobailong Cave in southeast Tibet (XBL; Cai et al., 2015). (B) Spatial distribution of annually averaged precipitation across the Lancang drainage basin derived from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data (adapted from http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/∼bodo/TRMM/) and normalized (reference concavity θref = 0.45) steepness indices, ksn, along the Lancang River determined by the integral method (Perron and Royden, 2013; Mudd et al., 2014). (C) Longitudinal profile for the Lancang River (blue) and its drainage divide (cyan), TRMM-derived precipitation (black), normalized channel steepness (green), and river discharge with drainage area weighted by TRMM data (purple). Black arrows point to geographic locations within the Lancang drainage area as shown in part A. The Yanjing-Weixi knickzone is highlighted in purple with gray background, while the three reaches with fluvial terraces in this study are denoted by black rectangles. Right-lateral active faults intersecting with the Lancang River channel are also indicated as follows: BT F.—Batang fault; ZD F.—Zhongdian fault; WX F.—Weixi fault; and LCR F.—Lancang River fault; NTH F.—Nantinghe fault.]()
