The shoshonitic volcanic rocks at Hongliuxia: Pulses of the Altyn Tagh fault in Cretaceous?
Science in China Series D: Earth Sciences, 2001Two periods of magma activities, i.e. 106–112 Ma shoshonitic eruption and 82 Ma trachytic intrusion, are recognized at the intersection of the Altyn Tagh fault and the northern marginal fault of the Qilian terrane, northeast of the Tibetan Plateau, which were previously considered to be Quaternary magma activities.

We investigated active deformation within the Akato Tagh restraining double bend to determine the age of the active Altyn Tagh fault relative to the Altyn Tagh system and thereby evaluate the extent to which this system evolved by net strain-hardening or softening. Active structures were mapped based on their geomorphology and disruption of Quaternary(?

Geodetic evidence for a low slip rate in the Altyn Tagh fault system
Nature, 2000The collision between India and Asia has been simulated with a variety of computational models that describe or predict the motions of the main faults of east Asia. Geological slip-rate estimates of 20-30 mm yr(-1) suggest that the largest of these faults, the 2,000-km-long Altyn Tagh fault system on the northern edge of the Tibetan plateau, absorbs as

Late Holocene earthquake history of the central Altyn Tagh fault, China
Geology, 2001The Altyn Tagh fault accommodates sinistral motion between the Tibetan Plateau and the Tarim block within the India-Eurasia collision zone. We used well-preserved evidence for surface-rupturing earthquakes to reconstruct the earthquake history for the central Altyn Tagh fault.

Tectonophysics, 2021
Abstract The timing and mechanism of the changes in the stress/strain field direction on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau are controversial, which limits our understanding of the tectonic evolution of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau and the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF). Here, we conducted a detailed anisotropy of low-field magnetic susceptibility analysis

Late Quaternary Tectonic Deformation of the Eastern End of the Altyn Tagh Fault
Acta Geologica Sinica, 2015AbstractThe Quaternary activity of the faults at the eastern end of the Altyn Tagh fault, including the Dengdengshan–Chijiaciwo, Kuantanshan and Heishan faults, was studied on the basis of interpretation of satellite images, trenching, geomorphologic offset measurements and dating.

Long-term Earthquake Cycle along the eastern Altyn Tagh Fault, China
2023Identifying earthquake recurrence times and slip distributions over the span of many seismic cycles is key to understand fault-rupture processes and to better assess the seismic hazard. In this study, we used three paleoseismological excavations along the Aksai segment of the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) to document preserved evidence of past earthquakes in ...

Possible cascading ruptures on the eastern section of the Altyn Tagh fault
Understanding how connected fault segments may rupture sequentially or simultaneously to produce large earthquakes is a fundamental problem in earthquake physics and seismic hazard assessment. Addressing this issue requires integrated constraints on fault geometry, slip behavior, and rupture history across interconnected fault systems. The Subei tripleYanxiu Shao +4 more

The crustal structure from the Altai Mountains to the Altyn Tagh fault, northwest China
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2003We present a new crustal section across northwest China based on a seismic refraction profile and geologic mapping. The 1100‐km‐long section crosses the southern margin of the Chinese Altai Mountains, Junggar Accretional Belt and eastern Junggar basin, easternmost Tianshan Mountains, and easternmost Tarim basin.

D-InSAR monitoring of crustal deformation in the eastern segment of the Altyn Tagh Fault
International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2011In recent years, the differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (D-InSAR) technique has been widely used in monitoring deformation on the Earth's surface. Compared with conventional approaches (such as global positioning system (GPS) monitoring), application of the D-InSAR technique has many advantages in surface deformation monitoring.
