The Hoh Xil Basin, lying in the central Tibetan Plateau, is key to understanding the Cenozoic tectonics, paleoelevation and paleoclimate changes that have occurred in the Tibetan Plateau since the collision of the Indian and Asian tectonic plates. However, the stratigraphic age and paleoelevation indicated by the sediments of the Hoh Xil Basin remain hotly debated. Here we report on one palynological...
Carbon and hydrogen isotopic compositions of leaf wax n-alkanes are promising paleoelevation proxies. In this paper, the two proxies were applied to the Dingqing Formation in the Lunpola basin in the central Tibetan Plateau to reconstruct paleoelevation of the basin from the latest Oligocene to the early Miocene. Values of δ 13 C and δD of C 29 n-alkane were −29.8±0.7‰ (n=38) and −188±10‰...
