The geological evolution of the Tibetan Plateau
The geological evolution of the Tibetan plateau is best viewed in a context broader than the
India-Eurasia collision zone. After collision about 50 million years ago, crust was shortened …

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
on a compilation of previously published data. More than 1900 estimates of crustal thickness …

A geological and geophysical context for the Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008, Sichuan, People's Republic of China
Abstract On 12 May 2008, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured the Longmen Shan margin
of the eastern Tibetan plateau. This event occurred within the context of long-term uplift and …

Eastward expansion of the Tibetan Plateau by crustal flow and strain partitioning across faults
The lateral expansion of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau causes devastating earthquakes,
but is poorly understood. In particular, the links between regional variations in surface …

Surface wave array tomography in SE Tibet from ambient seismic noise and two-station analysis-II. Crustal and upper-mantle structure
We determine the 3-D shear wave speed variations in the crust and upper mantle in the
southeastern borderland of the Tibetan Plateau, SW China, with data from 25 temporary …

Two crustal low-velocity channels beneath SE Tibet revealed by joint inversion of Rayleigh wave dispersion and receiver functions
Competing geodynamic models, such as rigid-block extrusion, continuous deformation, and
the mid-lower crustal flow, have been proposed to describe the growth and expansion of …
