... illuminate the mechanisms underlying late Miocene–Pliocene environmental changes using a multi-proxy record from the Zhada Basin, southwestern Tibetan Plateau, between ca. 9.2 and 2.3 Ma. An increase in mean carbonate δ 18 O c and δ 13 C c values, decrease in grain size, and onset of lacustrine deposition...

... sediments or the soils in the catchment of the Zhada basin, and by extension, the occurrence of more arid conditions at the time. Identification of high alkalinity in fluvial facies by R i/b is consistent with modern observations from north China, where alkaline deposits widely occur around river systems...

... with recrystallization of the samples in a rock-buffered system. Miocene–Pliocene aragonitic gastropod shells from the Zhada Basin in southwestern Tibet record primary environmental temperatures, which we interpret in the context of modern shell and tufa T (Δ 47 ) values and lake water temperatures. Modern shell...

... and central Nepal Himalaya have been thickened by 0.5 and 1–1.5 times, respectively. West of Gurla Mandhata the orogenic core is significantly thinner and underlies a large 11,000 km 2 Neogene basin (Zhada). A broad, thick orogenic core associated with thrust duplexing is collocated with an 8500 km 2 high...

New geochemical data on apatite reveal parameters to discriminate mineralized porphyry systems across Iran and western China (Tibet...

.... Because the Cuonadong pluton is a typical example of leucogranitic domes in the Tethyan Himalayas and contains Be and W/Sn mineralizations, it follows that other domes may contain similar resources. To the north of the Cuonadong pluton, one of the largest antimony (Sb) deposits in China is currently being...
