Crustal thickness map of the Chinese mainland from teleseismic receiver functions
Y Li, M Gao, Q Wu - Tectonophysics, 2014 - Elsevier
We present a new crustal thickness map of the Chinese mainland and adjacent areas based

Crustal-scale wedge tectonics at the narrow boundary between the Tibetan Plateau and Ordos block
The Tibetan plateau is bounded in part by cratonic blocks, and in part by tectonothermally
younger and weaker crust. How the Tibetan plateau interacts with bordering non-cratonic …

Seismic signature of the collision between the east Tibetan escape flow and the Sichuan Basin
GPS displacement vectors show that the crust in east Tibet is being squeezed in an easterly
direction by the northward motion of the Indian plate, and the Sichuan Basin is resisting this …
