The collision between India and Eurasia mobilizes multiple processes of continental
tectonics. However, how deformation develops within the lithosphere across the Tibetan …

The structure and rheology of lithosphere are fundamental to understanding lithospheric
deformation operating within the Tibetan plateau and hence holds significant implications for …

The mechanisms causing the uplifting of the Tien Shan, one of the largest and most active
intracontinental orogenic belts on Earth, have been vigorously debated for decades. Seismic …

Systematical investigation of deep mantle structure beneath the Pamir Plateau, western Tian
Shan and their surroundings is of great significance to understand dynamics of continental …

Surface wave tomography is a widely used geophysical method to measuring seismic
velocity and anisotropy in the crust and upper mantle. This paper briefly reviewed the history …

The deep crustal deformation in the east Pamir in response to the Cenozoic collision with
the Tien Shan and the Tarim Basin is so far poorly constrained. We present new insights into …

The northward extent of subducted Indian plate is a fundamental component of hypotheses
explaining deformation and magmatism within the Tibetan Plateau. Yet, these aspects of the …

The Pamir plateau protrudes∼ 300 km between the Tajik‐and Tarim‐basin lithosphere of
Central Asia. Whether its salient location and shape are caused by forceful indentation of a …

天山作为当今世界上最为典型的陆内造山带, 对于其深部结构和新生代构造变形过程的研究一直
是地球科学领域的前沿和热点, 并已经取得大量成果. 本文系统总结了近年来利用地震学方法对 …

Abstract The Pamir-Hindu Kush region at the western end of the Himalayan-Tibet orogen is
one of the most active regions on the globe with strong seismicity and deformation and …
