Driving the upper plate surface deformation by slab rollback and mantle flow (2014, background): “…Asia in which collision of India with Eurasia and the Andaman-Sumatra subduction contribute jointly to surface deformation across the Himalaya, Indochina and Indonesia since ~45 Ma (e.g., Royden 1997; Tapponnier et al. 2001; Royden , Burchfiel & van der Hilst 2008; Replumaz et al. 2013).”
Island-like radiation of Saussurea (Asteraceae: Cardueae) triggered by uplifts of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. (2009, background): “The uplifting of QTP led to the stable development of the Asian monsoon climate to the south and the aridification of central Asia, making it the most significant geological event of the Miocene period (An et al., 2001; Tapponnier et al., 2001).”
How the Continents Deform: The Evidence From Tectonic Geodesy* (2009, background): “The relative importance of shortening, crustal thickening, block rotations, and eastward extrusion of China in accommodating the India-Eurasia collision have long been contentious (e.g., England & Molnar 1997a, Tapponnier et al. 2001).”
Biogeography and molecular phylogeny of the genus Schizothorax (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) in China inferred from cytochrome b sequences (2006, background): “The Tibetan Plateau had three phases of uplift after the India– Eurasian continental collision in the Eocene (Tapponnier et al., 2001).”
Constraints on the early uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (2008, background): “, 30 Ma ago) gradual surface uplift (7) to more recent ( 7 Ma ago) and abrupt surface uplift (24), with oblique stepwise growth of elevation northward and eastward after the India-Eurasia collision (7, 20, 25, 26).”
Greater India Basin hypothesis and a two-stage Cenozoic collision between India and Asia (2012, background): “The onset of this last phase of India–Asia collision is contemporaneous with a period of outward growth and extension of the Tibetan plateau (10, 12, 48).”
Evolutionary origin of species diversity on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (2021, background): “For example, the inferred uplift in one site (one mountain or one relatively small region) based on certain evidence was mistakenly used or expressed to represent the whole QTPsl or a larger region (Tapponnier et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2008; Renner, 2016; Su et al., 2019a, 2019b).”
Constraining P-wave velocity variations in the upper mantle beneath Southeast Asia (2006, background): “1), implying that much of the Tibe lateau is not underlain by Indian but by Asian lit phere (Tapponnier et al., 2001).”
Phylogeography of regional fauna on the Tibetan Plateau: A review (2009, background): “[18] Tapponnier P, Xu Z, Roger F, et al.”
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “…& Chamberlain, 2006) was associated with the orogeny of high mountain ranges such as the higher Himalayas and the Tianshan, both of which achieved a significant elevation during the Miocene (Valdiya, 1999; Tapponnier et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2008) and still constitute tectonically active areas.”
