Crustal anatomy and evolution of a subduction-related orogenic system: Insights from the Southern Central Andes (22-35 S)
As the archetype of mountain building in subduction zones, the Central Andes has
constituted an excellent example for investigating mountain-building processes for decades …

Widening of the Andes: An interplay between subduction dynamics and crustal wedge tectonics
Shortening of the continental lithosphere is generally accommodated by the growth of
crustal wedges building above megathrusts in the mantle lithosphere. We show that the …

[HTML][HTML] Underthrusting and duplexing beneath the northern Tibetan Plateau and the evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen
Abstract The Cenozoic Qilian Shan thrust belt is the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau,
which developed in part due to progressive India-Asia convergence during Himalayan …

A plume-modified lithospheric barrier to the southeastward flow of partially molten Tibetan crust inferred from magnetotelluric data
Broadband and long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data were used to obtain a continuous
image of the lithospheric electrical conductivity structure across the southeastern Tibetan …

Crustal rheology controls on the Tibetan plateau formation during India-Asia convergence
The formation of the Tibetan plateau during the India-Asia collision remains an outstanding
issue. Proposed models mostly focus on the different styles of Tibetan crustal deformation …

Permian plume-strengthened Tarim lithosphere controls the Cenozoic deformation pattern of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen
The high strength of the Tarim Basin (northwestern China) lithosphere, widely regarded as a
Precambrian craton, is evidenced by its resistance to Cenozoic deformation in the …

[HTML][HTML] Continental underplating after slab break-off
We present three-dimensional numerical models to investigate the dynamics of continental
collision, and in particular what happens to the subducted continental lithosphere after …

Normal faulting and viscous buckling in the Tibetan Plateau induced by a weak lower crust
SH Bischoff, LM Flesch - Nature Communications, 2018 - nature.com
Flow of weak lower crust has been invoked to reconcile observed topographic gradients,
uniform elevations, slow seismic velocity, and high conductivity measured in the Tibetan …

Joint inversion for lithospheric structures: Implications for the growth and deformation in northeastern Tibetan Plateau
Several geodynamic models have been proposed for the deformation mechanism of Tibetan
Plateau (TP), but it remains controversial. Here we applied a method of joint inversion of …

Crustal deformation in the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau: insights from broad-band Pg-wave attenuation tomography
The deformation mechanism in southeastern Tibet since the continental collision between
the Indian and Eurasian plates could be explained by several models, including two major …
