Diverse range dynamics and dispersal routes of plants on the Tibetan Plateau during the late Quaternary
Phylogeographical studies have suggested that several plant species on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) underwent recolonization during the Quaternary and may have had distinct range dynamics in response to the last glacial. To further test this hypothesis and locate the possible historical dispersal routes, we selected 20 plant species from different parts of the TP and modeled their geographical dist...
متن کاملAge constraints on the late Quaternary evolution of Qinghai Lake, Tibetan Plateau
Dating and geomorphology of shoreline features in the Qinghai Lake basin of northwestern China suggest that, contrary to previous interpretations, the lake likely did not reach levels 66–140 m above modern within the past ∼90,000 yr. Maximum highstands of ∼20–66 m above modern probably date to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5. MIS 3 highstands are undated and uncertain but may have been at or below...
متن کاملLate Quaternary and present-day rates of slip along the Altyn Tagh Fault, northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau
[1] Both Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements and studies of Late Quaternary faulting are consistent with a slip rate of 10 mm/yr along the central segment of the Altyn Tagh Fault and a systematic decrease in that rate toward the eastern end of the fault. Dates of terraces above and below laterally offset terrace risers yield bounds on Quaternary slip rates that range from those that ag...
متن کاملPropagation Characteristics of Lg Across the Tibetan Plateau
We present the results of a study on the propagation of Lg within the Tibetan Plateau. We analyze over 1200 seismograms for Lg propagation from 185 local and regional earthquakes recorded at distances from 150 to 2000 km, 52 of which are located within the Tibetan Plateau. Although the propagation of Lg has been observed across most of Asia, Lg has not been observed for paths crossing the Tibet...
متن کاملLate Quaternary slip rates across the central Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan, central Asia
[1] Slip rates across active faults and folds show that late Quaternary faulting is distributed across the central Tien Shan, not concentrated at its margins. Nearly every intermontane basin contains Neogene and Quaternary syntectonic strata deformed by Holocene north-south shortening on thrust or reverse faults. In a region that spans two thirds of the north-south width of the central Tien Sha...
