Tibetan uplift prior to the Eocene-Oligocene climate transition: Evidence from pollen analysis of the Xining Basin

Dupont-Nivet, G., Hoorn, C., Konert, M.·2008·Geology

Abstract

Uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas since the onset of the Indo-Asia collision is held responsible for Asian aridification and monsoon intensification, but may also have gradually cooled global climate, leading to the 34 Ma Eocene-Oligocene transition. To unravel the interplay between Tibetan uplift and global climate, proxy records of Asian paleoenvironments constrained by accurate age models are needed for the Paleogene Period. Here we report the 38 Ma appearance of high-altitude vegetation recovered from palynological assemblages in precisely dated lacustrine sediments from the Xining Basin of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau region. This result confirms previous evidence for important regional uplift in the central and northern Tibetan Plateau regions during the early stage of the Indo-Asia collision. This is consistent with the idea that the associated increase in rock weathering and erosion contributed to lowering of atmospheric CO2, leading to the Eocene-Oligocene transition.

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.
