Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility Reveals Late Miocene Tectonic Activity in the Western Qaidam Basin

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The western Qaidam Basin on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau located at the intersection between the Altyn Tagh Fault and the Kunlun Fault/Qimen Tagh Fault holds significant potential to reveal the tectonic process of these two faults as well as the ...

Present-day tectonic activity along the central section of the Altyn Tagh fault derived from time series InSAR

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2019
The Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) is a large-scale complex tectonic system. In this study, the present-day crustal deformation of the central section of the ATF (90.8°E−91.58°E) was obtained using 14 images on a descending track acquired between 2007 and 2010 ...

Thin‐plate modeling of interseismic deformation and asymmetry across the Altyn Tagh fault zone [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2008
Creeping dislocations in an elastic half‐space are commonly used to model interseismic deformation. However, this semi‐infinite conventional model can lead to biased inferences of the slip rate and the fault locking depth. We therefore favor the use of a thin‐plate model sheared at its base in agreement with the current knowledge of the seismogenic ...

Three-dimensional structural model of the Qaidam basin: Implications for crustal shortening and growth of the northeast Tibet

Open Geosciences, 2017
The Qaidam basin, bounded by the Altyn Tagh fault in the north, is located in the northeast of the Tibet plateau, and it has important implications for understanding the history and mechanism of Tibetan plateau formation during the Cenozoic Indo-Eurasia ...

Present-Day Crustal Deformation of the Northwestern Tibetan Plateau Based on InSAR Measurements

Remote Sensing, 2023
In this study, The ENVISAT advanced synthetic aperture radar observations from 2003 to 2010 of a descending track covering an area of 100 km × 300 km were used to map the surface velocity field in northwestern Tibet.

Rupture termination at restraining bends: The last great earthquake on the Altyn Tagh Fault [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2015
AbstractStrike‐slip rupture propagation falters where changes in fault strike increase Coulomb failure stress. Numerical models of this phenomenon offer predictions of rupture extent based on bend geometry, but have not been verified with field data.
