Scaring off pirates (original) (raw)
What was the objective of the work? The work built on several earlier projects which hinted that the evolution of the Asian monsoon and the Himalaya were closely linked. We had some clues that climate affects the location of faults in the modern mountains from earlier investigations of active tectonics, but it was not clear whether this relationship extended further back in time. Thus, we decided to reconstruct continental weathering in southern China and Tibet, the source region of the rivers that drain to the South China Sea, using sediment cores from the Pearl River system.
