Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two
emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet …

With its central position between the Tibetan Plateau and the Tian Shan Range, the Tarim
Basin is a key element of the Cenozoic Asian orogenic system. However, a comprehensive …

We present the interpretation of a new set of closely spaced marine magnetic profiles that
complements previous data in the northeastern and southwestern parts of the South China …

The velocity field of present‐day deformation in Central Asia is modelled using a set of four
rotating blocks (Siberia, Tarim, Tibet, India) on a spherical earth. A best‐fit is inverted on the …

We have studied geometries and rates of late Cenozoic thrust faulting and folding along the
northern piedmont of the Tien Shan mountain belt, West of Urumqi, where the M= 8.3 Manas …

In nature, mountains can grow and remain as localized tectonic features over long periods of
time (> 10 my). By contrast, according to current knowledge of lithospheric rheology and …

Paleomagnetism has played an important role in quantifying the Mesozoic evolution of
“Proto-Tibet”. In this paper, we present new paleomagnetic data from five Middle-Upper …

THE relative northward motion of the Indian subcontinent that followed the onset of
continental collision with Asia has produced extensive deformation of the Earth's crust …

Sandstone compositional data can be a powerful tool in the interpretation of tectonic and
climatologic influences on sedimentary basin fill, in addition to yielding important information …

Magnetostratigraphy of 222 remanent directions together with late Oligocene to early
Miocene mammal and charophyte paleontology suggest that 2179 m of the Xishuigou …
