Two end member models of how the high elevations in Tibet formed are (i) continuous
thickening and widespread viscous flow of the crust and mantle of the entire plateau and (ii) …

Abstract The East Asian continent records a complex geologic and tectonic history that
involved the amalgamation of several small-to medium-sized blocks from Laurasia or …

The MS 6.9 Menyuan earthquake on January 8, 2022 occurred in the Qilian Mountain fault
block in the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The instrumental epicenter was …

2022 年1 月8 日青海门源MS 6.9 地震发生在青藏高原东北缘的祁连山断块内部,
仪器震中位于海原活动断裂系西段的冷龙岭断裂带上, 是该断裂系自1920 年海原8.5 …

Abstract The India‐Eurasia collision zone is the largest deforming region on the planet;
direct measurements of present‐day deformation from Global Positioning System (GPS) …

Abstract The Qilian Shan, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, has
experienced multiple episodes of tectonic deformation, including Neoproterozoic continental …

Fission-track analysis on zircons and apatites yields new information about the timing of
deformation of the northern Tibetan plateau. Ages on zircons, ranging from 221±22 to 96±4 …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is a prime example of a collisional orogen with widespread
strike‐slip faults whose age and tectonic significance remain controversial. We present new …

On the basis of a synthesis of tectonic data available on the India‐Asia collision, we present
a first attempt to reconstruct the evolution of the collision zone. Assuming that the …

Studies of Late Quaternary geological slip-rates and the GPS decadal slip-rates along the
major strike-slip faults in the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau show that slip-rates …
