Asymmetric Interseismic Strain across the Western Altyn Tagh Fault from InSAR

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
As the northern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau, the long Altyn Tagh fault (ATF) controls the regional tectonic environment, and the study of its long-term fault slip rate is key to understanding the tectonic evolution and deformation of the northern ...

Variability in interseismic strain accumulation rate and style along the Altyn Tagh Fault [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Major strike-slip faults that develop between strong and weaker regions are thought to focus along narrow shear zones at the rheological boundary. Here we present the InSAR-derived velocity field spanning almost the entire length of one such fault, the ...

High-resolution mapping based on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to capture paleoseismic offsets along the Altyn-Tagh fault, China [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The recent dramatic increase in millimeter- to centimeter- resolution topographic datasets obtained via multi-view photogrammetry raises the possibility of mapping detailed offset geomorphology and constraining the spatial characteristics of active ...

InSAR-Constrained Interseismic Deformation and Potential Seismogenic Asperities on the Altyn Tagh Fault at 91.5–95°E, Northern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
The present-day kinematic features of the different segments of the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) have been well-studied using geodetic data. However, on the eastern segment of the ATF at 91.5–95°E, high spatial resolution deformation has not been ...

Evolution of kinematic transformation from the Altyn Tagh fault to the Qilian Shan in the northern Tibetan Plateau: from early Cenozoic initiation to mid-Miocene extrusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Altyn Tagh fault has been a crucial tectonic boundary of the Tibetan Plateau during the Cenozoic India-Eurasia collision. However, issues have not been addressed regarding the Cenozoic evolution of the kinematic transformation from the eastern Altyn ...

Development and Interplay of Two Orthogonal Fault Systems in the NW Qaidam Basin, Northern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
How fold and thrust belts (FTBs) evolve over time and space in a transpressional regime remains poorly understood. Based on high-resolution 3D seismic reflection data and remote sensing images, we herein present a detailed structural analysis of the ...

Active Strike-Slip Faulting and Systematic Deflection of Drainage Systems along the Altyn Tagh Fault, Northern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Systematic deflection of drainage systems along strike-slip faults is the combination of repeated faulting slipping and continuous headward erosion accumulated on the stream channels.

Spatiotemporal Distribution of Afterslip following the 2014 Yutian Mw 6.9 Earthquake Using COSMO-SkyMed and Sentinel-1 InSAR Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Spatiotemporal distribution of early afterslip is essential for seismic hazard evaluation and determination of fault friction properties. In this study, we used early post-seismic COSMO-SkyMed (19 February 2014–08 April 2014) and long-term Sentinel-1 (16

Offset measurements along active faults based on the structure from motion method – A case study of Gebiling in the Xorkoli section of the Altyn Tagh Fault

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2020
This study reconstructs high-precision three-dimensional (3D) surface models using aerial imagery derived from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with the structure from motion (SfM) method. By combining automatic extraction and manual visual interpretation,

Strike-slip superimposed Qaidam Basin and its control on oil and gas accumulation, NW China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2015
Based on detailed field survey in the western Qaidam Basin, combined with petroleum exploration practices in recent years, this study suggests that the Qaidam Basin is a strike-slip superimposed basin jointly controlled by the left-lateral strike-slip ...
