The Tibetan Plateau is usually thought to have been formed by the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

Key Points: 
  • The Tibetan Plateau is usually thought to have been formed by the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

  • Now, a groundbreaking study, led by Professor Chengshan Wang from the School of Earth Sciences and Resources at China University of Geosciences, has employed an innovative approach to paleoaltimetry to obtain remarkable insights into the formation of the Tibetan Plateau.
  • The Tibetan Plateau has always fascinated humankind, but this study brings us a step closer to the understanding of its remarkable history.
