Testing the Climatic Effects of Orography and CO2 with General Circulation and Biome Models

  • Chapter
Tectonic Uplift and Climate Change

Abstract

Uplift of large-scale plateau orography has been proposed as a forcing function of long-term climate, both because it can alter the large-scale circulation of the atmosphEre,1–2 and because it may influence chemical weathering and thus atmospheric CO2 levels.3 These hypotheses suggest that much of the major climatic change of the last 40 million years could result from uplift in southern Asia and elsewhere.
