Geologic evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen

A Yin, TM Harrison - Annual review of earth and planetary …, 2000 - annualreviews.org
A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

Crustal–lithospheric structure and continental extrusion of Tibet

MP Searle, JR Elliott, RJ Phillips… - Journal of the …, 2011 - lyellcollection.org
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 …

Present‐day crustal deformation of continental China derived from GPS and its tectonic implications

M Wang, ZK Shen - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We process rigorously GPS data observed during the past 25 years from continental China
to derive site secular velocities. Analysis of the velocity solution leads to the following …

Present-day crustal deformation in China constrained by global positioning system measurements

Q Wang, PZ Zhang, JT Freymueller, R Bilham… - science, 2001 - science.org
Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in China indicate that crustal shortening
accommodates most of India's penetration into Eurasia. Deformation within the Tibetan …

Contemporary crustal deformation around the southeast borderland of the Tibetan Plateau

ZK Shen, J Lü, M Wang… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
We derive a detailed horizontal velocity field for the southeast borderland of the Tibetan
Plateau using GPS data collected from the Crustal Motion Observation Network of China …

Tectonic history of the Altyn Tagh fault system in northern Tibet inferred from Cenozoic sedimentation

A Yin, PE Rumelhart, R Butler… - Geological …, 2002 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The active left-slip Altyn Tagh fault defines the northern edge of the Tibetan plateau. To
determine its deformation history we conducted integrated research on Cenozoic …

REVEL: A model for recent plate velocities from space geodesy

GF Sella, TH Dixon, A Mao - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
We present a new global model for Recent plate velocities, REVEL, describing the relative
velocities of 19 plates and continental blocks. The model is derived from publicly available …

An integrated global model of present-day plate motions and plate boundary deformation

C Kreemer, WE Holt, AJ Haines - Geophysical Journal …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
In this paper we present a global model (GSRM-1) of both horizontal velocities on the Earth's
surface and horizontal strain rates for almost all deforming plate boundary zones. A model …

Reconstruction of the deformed collision zone between India and Asia by backward motion of lithospheric blocks

A Replumaz, P Tapponnier - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Transformation of displacement between strike-slip and crustal shortening in the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau: Evidence from decadal GPS measurements …

W Zheng, P Zhang, W He, D Yuan, Y Shao, D Zheng… - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
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 …
