India-Asia collision as a driver of atmospheric CO₂ in the

Index

Abstract

The key driving mechanism of atmospheric CO₂ variations in the Cenozoic remains controversial. This paper analyzes three stages of collision-related magmatism in Tibet, corresponding to three major stages of atmospheric CO₂ variations. Geochemical data for these magmatic rocks inform a model calculating the continental collision-induced CO₂ emission flux. The correlation between modeled CO₂ emission rates and the global atmospheric CO₂ curve supports the hypothesis that the India-Asia collision was the primary driver of Cenozoic atmospheric CO₂ changes.
