Tectonic and climatic forcing of chemical weathering intensity in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau since the middle Miocene

Hanjing Fu et al.

Summary: The chemical weathering of continental silicates plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's long-term climate and global carbon cycle. The study in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau since the middle Miocene reveals a close interaction between weathering processes, climate, and tectonics. The sediment provenance and paleo-chemical weathering history in the region have remained relatively stable since the middle Miocene, with changes in weathering intensity influenced by both climate shifts and tectonic activity. Uplift-induced physical denudation and regional aridity have contributed to a transition in the chemical weathering regime, highlighting the complex relationship between weathering intensity, climate, and tectonics in arid, tectonically-active regions.

Eocene deformation of the NE Tibetan Plateau: Indications from magnetostratigraphic constraints on the oldest sedimentary sequence in the Linxia Basin

Zhantao Feng et al.

Summary: The study reveals the early development of the Linxia Basin is related to the growth of the West Qinling, with the northern segment of the West Qinling being the main sediment source to the basin before -51 Ma. A significant increase in sedimentation rate before -51 Ma, along with southward migration of the sedimentary system during 51-47.8 Ma, indicates extension and fast exhumation of the sediment source.

Tectono-magmatic events of the Qilian orogenic belt in northern Tibet: new insights from detrital zircon geochronology of river sands

Shuo Zhang et al.

Summary: The study of detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology in river sediments from the Qilian orogenic belt reveals a complex tectono-magmatic history, with distinct age populations suggesting continental aggregation processes and ancient connections to supercontinents. The variability in detrital zircon age populations among different river sand samples highlights the need for caution when using them to track the tectono-magmatic history of complex orogens.

Early Cenozoic activated deformation in the Qilian Shan, northeastern Tibetan Plateau: Insights from detrital apatite fission-track analysis

Pengju He et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the Cenozoic tectonic deformation in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau began in the late Paleocene-early Eocene in the Qilian Shan, experiencing subsequent episodic deformation events. Additionally, deformation or erosion of some terranes in the Qilian Shan decelerated during the Oligocene-Miocene period.

Expanded lacustrine sedimentation in the Qaidam Basin on the northern Tibetan Plateau: Manifestation of climatic wetting during the Oligocene icehouse

Minghao Wu et al.

Summary: This study reconstructs a long-term compound-specific hydrogen isotope record from sedimentary leaf wax n-alkanes in the Qaidam Basin, revealing shifts in aridity and wetness at ca. 40 Ma, 34 Ma, and 24 Ma. The results suggest contrasting patterns in paleohydrology conditions since the Eocene-Oligocene transition, highlighting different climatic responses to global cooling in the region. Wetting in Inner Asia is synchronous with cooling in the North Atlantic and Xining Basin, while the subtropical high re-occupying Inner Asia causes aridity during the late Oligocene to early Miocene.

Cenozoic evolution of the Qaidam basin and implications for the growth of the northern Tibetan plateau: A review

Feng Cheng et al.

Summary: The Qaidam basin, as the largest depression in the Tibetan plateau, contains over 10 km thick of Cenozoic sediments that provide a unique record of the evolution of the northern part of the Tibetan plateau. Despite controversies surrounding the basin's evolution, a comprehensive review of structural geology, sedimentology, geochronology, and geophysics data has led to a holistic view of the Cenozoic evolution of the basin, emphasizing the interplay between tectonics and climate. Key findings include the development of basement-involved faults, the Neogene initiation of strike-slip faulting, and the role of the Eastern Kunlun Shan in controlling sediment sources and basin partitioning.

Coupling between surface processes and crustal deformation: Insights from the late Cenozoic development of the Qaidam Basin, China

Xiangjiang Yu et al.

Summary: By studying the relationship between sedimentary dispersal systems and hydrological conditions in the Qaidam Basin, it has been found that there is a good spatial and temporal coupling between sedimentary depressions and hydrological conditions, indicating that the Quaternary landscape evolution of the Qaidam Basin is influenced by changes in hydrological patterns in the surrounding areas.

Evolution of the Miocene megalake in the western Qaidam Basin, northwestern China

Yu Liang et al.

Summary: Research indicates that the megalake in the Qaidam Basin on the northeast Tibetan Plateau experienced significant water level fluctuations during the mid- and late Miocene, controlled by global climatic conditions. Overall, the lake shrank under relatively cool conditions and expanded under relatively warm conditions, gradually dwindling over time.
