Predicting paleoelevation of Tibet and the Himalaya from δ18O vs. altitude gradients in meteoric water across the Nepal Himalaya
Open accessAbstract
The δ18O value of meteoric water varies with elevation, providing a means to reconstruct paleoelevation if the δ18O values of paleowater are known. In this study, we determined the δ18O values of water (δ18Omw) from small tributaries along the Seti River and Kali Gandaki in the Nepal Himalaya. We found that δ18Omw values decrease with increasing altitude for both transects. δ18Omw vs. altitude along the Kali Gandaki in west-central Nepal fit a second order polynomial curve, consistent with increasing depletion of 18O with increasing elevation, as predicted by a Rayleigh-type fractionation process. This modern δ18Omw vs. altitude relationship can be used to constrain paleoelevation from the δ18O values of Miocene–Pliocene carbonate (δ18Oc) deposited in the Thakkhola graben in the southern Tibetan Plateau. Paleoelevations of 3800±480 m to 5900±350 are predicted for the older Tetang Formation and 4500±430 m to 6300±330 m for the younger Thakkhola Formation. These paleoelevation estimates suggest that by ∼11 Ma the southern Tibetan Plateau was at a similar elevation to modern.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
