Abstract The Central China Orogenic Belt (CCOB) comprises, from the east to the west, the
Tongbai-Dabie, Qinling, Qilian and Kunlun Orogens, and preserves abundant and important …

Abstract The Kunlun Orogen is generally divided into the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt (E-KOB)
and the West Kunlun Orogenic Belt (W-KOB) by the Altyn Tagh fault. The E-KOB forms part …

The Qaidam basin is the largest topographic depression inside the Tibetan plateau.
Because of its central position, understanding the tectonic origin of the Qaidam basin has …

Cenozoic Qaidam basin, the largest active intermountain basin inside Tibet, figures
importantly in the debates on the history and mechanism of Tibetan plateau formation during …

Abstract The Qilian Shan, at the northeastern frontier of the Tibetan Plateau, is a key area for
studying the expansion mechanism of the Tibetan Plateau. Although previous …

Many seismic and magnetotelluric experiments within Tibet provide proxies for lithospheric
temperature and lithology, and hence rheology. Most data have been collected between c …

We collected continuous seismic data recorded between 2007 and 2010 by 208 broadband
stations from the Chinese Provincial Digital Seismic Networks, A Seismic Collaborative …

The Tibetan Plateau is the product of crustal thickening caused by collision between India
and Asia. Plate tectonic reconstructions suggest continuous northward movement of the …

We collected and processed a large amount of high‐quality broadband teleseismic
waveform data recorded by the 48 Chinese National Digital Seismic Network stations to …

Marking the northern boundary of the Tibetan plateau, the Altyn Tagh fault plays a crucial
role in accommodating the Cenozoic crustal deformation affecting the plateau. However, its …
