Slab breakoff: A critical appraisal of a geological theory as applied in space and time
The idea that prominent geological phenomena observed in the crust and at the surface may
be caused by the detachment of subducting dense lithosphere has been anticipated by …

Deep crustal expressions of exhumed strike-slip fault systems: Shear zone initiation on rheological boundaries
S Cao, F Neubauer - Earth-Science Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
The formation of major exhumed strike-slip faults represents one of the most important
dynamic processes affecting the evolution of the Earth's lithosphere. Detailed models of the …

Intracontinental deformation of the Tianshan Orogen in response to India-Asia collision
How the continental lithosphere deforms far away from plate boundaries has been long
debated. The Tianshan is a type-example of ongoing lithospheric deformation in an …

Deep India meets deep Asia: Lithospheric indentation, delamination and break-off under Pamir and Hindu Kush (Central Asia)
Subduction of buoyant continental lithosphere is one of the least understood plate-tectonic
processes. Yet under the Pamir–Hindu Kush, at the northwestern margin of the India–Asia …

The Himalaya in 3D: Slab dynamics controlled mountain building and monsoon intensification
Tectonic models for the Oligocene–Miocene development of the Himalaya mountain range
are largely focused on crustal-scale processes, and developed along orogen-perpendicular …

Mesozoic to Cenozoic magmatic history of the Pamir
New geochronologic, geochemical, and isotopic data for Mesozoic to Cenozoic igneous
rocks and detrital minerals from the Pamir Mountains help to distinguish major regional …

Titanite petrochronology of the Pamir gneiss domes: Implications for middle to deep crust exhumation and titanite closure to Pb and Zr diffusion
Abstract The Pamir Plateau, a result of the India‐Asia collision, contains extensive
exposures of Cenozoic middle to lower crust in domes exhumed by north‐south crustal …

Seismotectonics of the Pamir
Based on a 2 year seismic record from a local network, we characterize the deformation of
the seismogenic crust of the Pamir in the northwestern part of the India‐Asia collision zone …

Mesozoic tectonics of the Gondwanan terranes of the Pamir plateau
AC Robinson - Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2015 - Elsevier
Abstract The Central and Southern Pamir terranes represent Gondwanan crustal fragments
within the Pamir plateau, and are bounded by the Tanymas, Rushan–Pshart, and Wakhan …

Deep burial of Asian continental crust beneath the Pamir imaged with local earthquake tomography
An inclined zone of intermediate-depth seismicity beneath the Pamir orogen in Central Asia
has been interpreted as southward subduction of a slab of Asian lithosphere. However, it is …
