Many achievements and remarkable progress have been made in active tectonics in China,
especially since the 1980s. These studies have laid a foundation for the quantitative study of …

Geothermochronologic data outline the temperature‐deformation‐time evolution of the
Muskol and Shatput gneiss domes and their hanging walls in the Central Pamir. Prograde …

Asian deep crust exposed in the Pamir permits determination of the amount, sequence, and
interaction of shortening, extension, and lateral extrusion over~ 30 km of crustal section …

Abstract The Cenozoic convergence between India and Asia has created Earth's thickest
crust in the Pamir‐Tibet Plateau by extreme crustal shortening. Here we study the crustal …

The M w 6.8 Murghob earthquake is the third earthquake in an M w 6.4+ sequence occurring
in the Pamir initiated by the 2015 Sarez M w 7.2 earthquake. It is of great significance to …

Abstract Along the Ghissar‐Alai Range of the southwestern Tian Shan (southwestern
Kyrgyzstan, northern Tajikistan), the deformation front of the India‐Asia collision—the Pamir …

Neogene, syn‐collisional extensional exhumation of Asian lower–middle crust produced the
Shakhdara–Alichur gneiss‐dome complex in the South Pamir. The< 1 km‐thick, mylonitic …

The Pamir orogen, Central Asia, is the result of the ongoing northward advance of the Indian
continent causing shortening inside Asia. Geodetic and seismic data place the most intense …

SUMMARY A sequence of three strong (M W7. 2, 6.4, 6.6) earthquakes struck the Pamir of
Central Asia in 2015–2017. With a local seismic network, we recorded the succession of the …

The complex tectonic interplay between the Central Asian Southwest Tien Shan and the
north advancing Pamir as well as the role of the Pamir Frontal Thrust (PFT) separating these …
