INTERSEISMIC DEFORMATION ACROSS THE EASTERN ALTYN TAGH FAULT FROM INSAR MEASUREMENTS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 As a new type of earth observation technique, InSAR has a lot of advantages, such as all-weather, all-time, high precision, high density, wide coverage and low cost. It has been widely used in deformation monitoring.

Paleoseismology of the Xorxol Segment of the Central Altyn Tagh Fault, Xinjiang, China
Annals of Geophysics, 2003 Although the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) is thought to play a key role in accommodating India-Eurasian convergence, little is known about its earthquake history.

Interseismic Deformation of the Altyn Tagh Fault Determined by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) Measurements [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 The Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) is one of the major left-lateral strike-slip faults in the northeastern area of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, the interseismic deformation across the ATF at 85°E was measured using 216 interferograms from 33 ENVISAT ...

Inescapable slow slip on the Altyn Tagh fault [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 GPS surveys conducted in 1994, 1998, and 2002 on the central portion of the Altyn Tagh fault confirm left‐lateral slip rates of 9 ± 4 mm/yr, significantly slower than geological estimates of slip rate for the past several thousand years. The measurements were obtained on a 300‐km‐long profile between 88° and 91°E within one fault dimension of the Mw ...

Pulsed strain release on the Altyn Tagh fault, northwest China [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2017 Abstract Earthquake recurrence models assume that major surface-rupturing earthquakes are followed by periods of reduced rupture probability as stress rebuilds. Although purely periodic, time- or slip-predictable rupture models are known to be oversimplifications, a paucity of long records of fault slip clouds understanding of fault behavior and ...

Coseismic deformation of the 2020 Yutian MW 6.4 earthquake from Sentinel-1A and the slip inversion
Earthquake Research Advances, 2021 A remarkable earthquake struck Yutian, China on June 26th, 2020. Here, we use Sentinel-1 images to investigate the deformation induced by this event. We invert the InSAR observations using a two-step approach: a nonlinear inversion to constrain fault ...

Preseismic deformation associated with the 2014 Ms7. 3 Yutian earthquake derived from GPS data
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2014 Based on analysis of the GPS data during 1999–2007, 2009–2011, and 2011–2013 mainly from the Crustal Motion Obseration Network of China, we obtained the GPS horizontal velocity field, the GPS strain rate field, and the profiles across the southwestern ...

FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE DUNHUANG BLOCK
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017 Dunhang Block is located between the North China and the Tarim Cratons (Figure). It is bounded by the Beishan Orogenic Belt to the north and Altyn Tagh Orogenic Belt to the south, respectively; in the west the Qiemo-Xingxingxia fault separates the block ...

Active tectonic deformation around the Tarim Basin inferred from dense GPS measurements
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2020 The surrounding area of the Tarim Basin is featured by active tectonic deformation and intense seismic activity. The study of the crustal deformation characteristics of this area will help revealing the role of the Tarim Basin in the crustal evolution ...
