Peopling of the northern Tibetan Plateau
Early archaeological investigations on the Tibetan Plateau concluded that this harsh, high-elevation environment was successfully colonized around 30,000 years ago. Genetic studies have tended to support this view on the assumption that the uniquely evolved physiological capacities seen among modern Tibetan populations required long-term exposure to high-elevation selective pressures. Archaeolo...
متن کاملPaleoglaciation of Shaluli Shan, southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Reconstructing the paleoglaciation of the Tibetan Plateau is critical to understanding linkages between regional climate changes and global climate changes, and herewe focus on the glacial history of the Shaluli Shan, an area of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau that receives much of its precipitation from monsoon flow. Based on field investigation, geomorphological mapping, and 10Be exposure da...
متن کاملCosmogenic 3 He and 10 Be chronologies of the late Pinedale northern Yellowstone ice cap , Montana , USA
Cosmogenic 3He and 10Be ages measured on surface boulders from the moraine sequence deposited by the northern outlet glacier of the Yellowstone ice cap indicate that the outlet glacier reached its terminal position at 16.5 6 0.4 3He ka and 16.2 6 0.3 10Be ka, respectively. Concordance of these ages supports the scaled production rates used for 3He (118.6 6 6.6 atoms · g21 · yr21) and 10Be (5.1 ...
متن کاملAged dissolved organic carbon exported from rivers of the Tibetan Plateau
The role played by river networks in regional and global carbon cycle is receiving increasing attention. Despite the potential of radiocarbon measurements (14C) to elucidate sources and cycling of different riverine carbon pools, there remain large regions such as the climate-sensitive Tibetan Plateau for which no data are available. Here we provide new 14C data on dissolved organic carbon (DOC...
متن کاملSource and biolability of ancient dissolved organic matter in glacier and lake ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau is the world’s largest and highest plateau and holds the largest mass of ice on Earth outside the icesheets of Greenland and Antarctica, as well as abundant lakes. This study examined the molecular and isotopic signatures of dissolved organic matter (DOM) along with its biolability in glacier ice, glacier-fed streams, and alpine lakes on the Tibetan Plateau. The aim was to a...
