Predicting paleoelevation of Tibet and the Himalaya from N18O vs. altitude gradients in meteoric water across the Nepal Himalaya

The N18O value of meteoric water varies with elevation, providing a means to reconstruct paleoelevation if the N18O values of paleowater are known. In this study, we determined the N18O values of water (NOmw) from small tributaries along the Seti River and Kali Gandaki in the Nepal Himalaya. We found that NOmw values decrease with increasing altitude for both transects. NOmw vs. altitude along ...

Variability of summer humidity during the past 800 years on the eastern Tibetan Plateau inferred from δO of tree-ring cellulose

We present an 800-year δO chronology from the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The chronology dates back to AD 1193 and was sampled in AD 1996 from living Juniperus tibetica trees. This first long-term tree-ringbased δO chronology for eastern Tibet provides a reliable archive for hydroclimatic reconstructions. Highly significant correlations were obtained with hydroclimatic variables (...

High times on the Tibetan Plateau: Paleoelevation of the Thakkhola graben, Nepal

Timing of surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau has received much attention because of proposed links between high topography and change in regional and global climate, southern Asian paleoecology, and ocean chemistry (Quade et al., 1989; Edmond, 1992; Prell and Kutzbach, 1992; Raymo and Ruddiman, 1992; Molnar et al., 1993; Derry and France-Lanord, 1996). However, the actual vintage of high ele...

International Workshop on Terrestrial Water Cycle Observation and Modeling from Space: Innovation and Reliability of Data Products Determining geometric links between glaciers and lakes on the Tibetan plateau

The Tibetan plateau and surrounding mountain ranges contain the largest amount of ice outside the polar region. The Tibetan plateau also contains more than one thousand lakes and is the origin of a large part of the water resources of South and East Asia, the most densely populated regions on earth. Recent studies concluded that the glacial area on the Tibetan plateau and surroundings has decre...

Deep Structure of the Himalaya and Tibet from Gravity and Seismological Data

Most mountain ranges are flanked by foredeep basins, and in general neither the ranges nor the basins are in local isostatic equilibrium. The basins are overcompensated whereas the ranges themselves are usually undercompensated, I describe a method of analysing gravity anomalies over mountain ranges assuming that the topography is supported by the elastic strength of the continental lithosphere...
