中新世以来我国季风-干旱环境演化与青藏高原的生长*

On the basis of the comparison of the paleorecords among the North China,the South China Sea and the globe,we have discussed the coupling relationship between changes of the monsoon-arid environment and phased growth of the Tibetan Plateau since the Miocene in China. The authors pointed out that the study of the evolution and dynamics of the monsoon-arid environment system should be paid attention to,while the study of the monsoon environment is underway simultaneously.
