Prolonged Monsoonal Moisture Availability Preconditioned Glaciation of the Tibetan Plateau During the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition

Abstract Paleohydrological data comprising pollen assemblages and leaf‐wax hydrogen isotopes (δDwax) from paleolake sediments in the Qaidam Basin (China) provide evidence for a link between increased moisture availability on the Tibetan Plateau and global cooling during the Mid‐Pleistocene Transitio...
