Underpinning this is the assumption that the majority of sediment eroded from hinterland orogenic belts is transported to and ultimately stored in marine basins with little lag between erosion and deposition. Here we use a detailed and multi-technique sedimentary provenance dataset from the Yellow River to show that substantial amounts of sediment eroded from Northeast Tibet and carried by the river’s upper reach are stored in the Chinese Loess Plateau and the western Mu Us desert. This finding revises our understanding of the origin of the Chinese Loess Plateau and provides a potential solution for mismatches between late Cenozoic terrestrial sedimentation and marine geochemistry records, as well as between global CO2 and erosion records. date: 2015-10-01 date_type: published publisher: NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9511 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC4633828 primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1064644 doi: 10.1038/ncomms9511 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Carter, Andrew lyricists_name: Rittner, Martin lyricists_name: Vermeesch, Pieter lyricists_id: ACART78 lyricists_id: KMRIT26 lyricists_id: PVERM09 actors_name: Dewerpe, Marie actors_id: MDDEW97 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Nature Communications volume: 6 number: 851 pages: 8 issn: 2041-1723 citation: Nie, J; Stevens, T; Rittner, M; Stockli, D; Garzanti, E; Limonta, M; Bird, A; ...
