Cenozoic climate change in eastern Asia: Part II
2018
Bae, Christopher J. | Hong, Hanlie | Zhang, Zhongshi
This special issue of Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology on “Cenozoic Climate Change in Eastern Asia” contains a series of multidisciplinary studies representing a wide range of research on paleovegetation, sedimentology, clay mineralogy, geochemistry, magnetostratigraphy, and climate modelling. The general significance of these studies is that analysis of terrestrial paleoclimate changes in eastern Asia may offer insights into the effects of Tibetan Plateau uplift, and ultimately the dynamic processes of global change that took hold throughout the Cenozoic. The present volume is Part II of this special issue. The first part of the special issue was dedicated to understanding eastern Asian paleoclimate variation during the Cenozoic by especially evaluating proxy data from geochemistry and climate modeling. Part II includes additional geochemical studies of terrestrial deposits from different regions of eastern Asia as well as climate modeling. Some of these papers focus on the impact or effect of these climatic changes on various floras and faunas in this region. In these studies, the period investigated ranges from the Eocene to the middle Holocene, thus encompassing most of the Cenozoic. Collectively, these studies provide significant new insights into the Cenozoic paleoclimate framework of eastern Asia.
