Abstract

The far-field effects of the India-Eurasia collision led to tectonic deformation, mountain uplift and climate change in Inner Asia during the Cenozoic Era. In order to improve our understanding of the interplay between tectonics and climate, we present this new Special Issue. It comprises sixteen papers that can be categorized into three broad themes: (1) Cenozoic tectonics and surface processes in Inner Asia; (2) regional paleoenvironment and paleoclimate changes; and (3) numerical modelling of the environmental effects of tectonic uplift and changing ocean gateways. These contributions provide new insights into Cenozoic tectonism, climate changes and their possible inter-relationships in Inner Asia and improve our understanding of the coupling between lithosphere and surface (atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere) processes. The articles will be of broad interest to interdisciplinary scholars in geosciences.
