Earth science: The rise and growth of Tibet
Andreas Mulch1 & C. Page Chamberlain1
Abstract
It is not difficult to be impressed by the grandeur of high mountainous regions, but it is difficult to reconstruct how the elevation of such regions evolved. A study of the Tibetan plateau does just that.
Is Everest now at its highest point, or was it once even loftier? What was the greatest height attained by the vast highlands of the Tibetan plateau, and when did this occur?
- Andreas Mulch and C. Page Chamberlain are in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA.
