We present a new crustal thickness map of the Chinese mainland and adjacent areas based
on a compilation of previously published data. More than 1900 estimates of crustal thickness …

We compare the geologic histories, the deep structures, and the present‐day kinematics of
deformation of the Himalaya and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau with those of the Zagros and …

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 …

We use common conversion point (CCP) stacking of Ps receiver functions to image the
crustal structure and Moho of the Garhwal Himalaya of India. Our seismic array of 21 …

Crustal shortening and thickening to c. 70–85 km in the Tibetan Plateau occurred both
before and mainly after the c. 50 Ma India–Asia collision. Potassic–ultrapotassic shoshonitic …

Many seismic and magnetotelluric experiments within Tibet provide proxies for lithospheric
temperature and lithology, and hence rheology. Most data have been collected between c …

India–Asia collision resulted in crustal thickening and shortening, metamorphism and partial
melting along the 2200 km-long Himalayan range. In the core of the Greater Himalaya …

This paper is concerned with the implications of earthquake depth distributions in the
Himalayan–Tibetan collision zone for the general understanding of lithosphere rheology. In …

The Karakoram fault (KKF) is the 1000km-long strike-slip fault separating the western
Himalaya from the Tibetan Plateau. From geologic and geodetic data, the KKF is argued …

Shear-wave splitting provides insight into geodynamic processes such as lithospheric
deformation and upper mantle flow. This study presents shear wave splitting parameters …
