The conventional view of crustal deformation in the reactivated Tianshan orogenic belt is
strong north–south (NS) compression accommodated by a series of east–west (E–W) …

Debate continues over whether global cooling or uplift of the Tibetan Plateau provided the
first-order driver for the aridification (moisture levels) of Central Asia throughout the Mid …

Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates produced the archetypical
