Abstract

Abstract

Clay mineralogy of sediments of the basins in different locations of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau was investigated to reveal the paleoclimate evolution in Tibet. Our results show that the planetary wind system prevailed over the Paleocene-Eocene in Tibet. A rapid cooling in Qaidam was found in ~36 Ma, prior to the global cooling event by ~2 Ma. In the Oligocene, paleoclimate was warm and dry and the temperature was lower than that of the previous stage. In Miocene-Pliocene period cooling event was found in ~21.5 Ma in Qaidam and Xunhua basins, northeastern Tibet. Climate change in 8-7 Ma occurred in the whole Qinghai-Tibet plateau. In Gyirong, southern Tibet and in Yecheng, western Tibet, smectite occurred in a certain amount in the sediments prior to ~1.8 Ma, indicating that climate was relatively humid in these regions prior to ~1.8 Ma though the climate changed into cool and dry in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.
