Eocene to Miocene paleoclimate reconstruction of the northern Tibetan Plateau: constraints from mineralogy, carbon and oxygen isotopes of lacustrine carbonates in the western Qaidam Basin

Eocene to Miocene paleoclimate reconstruction of the northern Tibetan Plateau: constraints from mineralogy, carbon and oxygen isotopes of lacustrine carbonates in the western Qaidam Basin

The Cenozoic climatic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), together with its driving mechanism, have been a subject of interest for decades. This study presents detailed sedimentology, mineralogical (XRD), carbon, and oxygen isotope analyses of lacustrine deposits from the Eocene to the Miocene in...
