Uplift of Tibetan Plateau
Abstract
A history of the elevation and crustal thickness of the Tibetan Plateau since the continental collision at 45 Ma has been computed using a kinematic model based on plate tectonic reconstructions and conservation of crustal volume. In our reconstructions, the Indochina block was attached to the southern margin of Eurasia before being “extruded” to the southeast as evidenced by the opening of the South China Sea. This opening affected the mass input into Tibet so that Tibet did not uplift to an elevation higher than 1 km until early Miocene (when spreading of the South China Sea ceased). The model then gives a steady rise of Tibet from Middle Miocene to its present elevation.

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.
