Early Miocene Paleoaltitude of the Tuotuohe Basin, Central‐Northern Tibetan Plateau and its Tectonic Implications

Reconstruction of the paleoaltitude history of the Tibetan Plateau is critical for understanding the linkage between tectonics and its effect on regional and global climate change. Presently, most of the paleoaltitude studies are concentrated on the southern and southeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, and few studies have been conducted in the central‐northern part. In this paper we focused on the Wudaoliang Formation in the Tuotuohe Basin,...
