Abstract:Both the kinematics and dynamics for topographic growth of the Tibetan Plateau remain debated despite their significance for understanding the evolution of continental lithospheric geodynamics, climate, and biodiversity in Asia. Morphometric analysis reveals the continuity of high-elevated peneplains through the Songpan-Garze-Yidun, Qiangtang and Lhasa terranes in eastern Tibet. Inverse thermal-history modeling of thermochronological data indicates slow cooling of these terranes since 80-60 Ma, 40-35 Ma and 20… Show more
