Key Points The uplift event (~10.5–8 Ma) revealed by glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers temperature records from the Xining Basin is synchronous with regional drying The cooling amplitude over land is less than that over the ocean during the CO 2 ‐dominated Late Miocene cooling event (~7–5.4 Ma) Tectonic forcing, rather than p CO 2 , dominated regional continental climate patterns and ecosystem transitions during the Late Miocene
