Abstract

The aim of this virtual special issue (VSI) is to synthesize knowledge about the evolution and significance of the Tibetan Plateau uplift, together with associated environmental changes, ecology responses, and human development over deep-time to Quaternary timescales. The VSI has been organized by the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ITPCAS), which celebrates its 20th anniversary. The VSI comprises 29 publications that can be grouped into four scientific topics: 1) tectonic evolution and uplift of Tibetan Plateau since Cretaceous times; 2) pre-Quaternary climate and environment linked to Tibetan Plateau uplift; 3) climate and environmental changes, and the 4) ecological response to climate changes during the late Quaternary on Tibetan Plateau. Findings will be of interest to a broad range of scientists including geologists, ecologists and climatologists.
