Large‐Scale Deformation, Strain Characteristics, and Locking Distribution of the Qilian‐Haiyuan Fault System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Qilian‐Haiyuan fault system is the main tectonic boundary of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, controlling the regional tectonic deformation and seismic activity. Extensive Sentinel‐1 SAR data (2014–2021) are used to map the regional tectonic deformation, strain distribution, and locking along primary and secondary faults.

Drainage Development in the Dunhuang Basin, NE Tibet, Controlled by Multi-Segment Fault Growth

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Dongbatu Shan (DBTS, also known as the Nanjie Shan), which interrupts the northern Tibetan foreland in the Dunhuang basin, is an active anticline. It has accommodated the northwestern growth of the eastern Altyn Tagh fault system (ATF).

Differential Mountain‐Building in the South Tian Shan Revealed by Multi‐Spatiotemporal Foreland Deformation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...

Reconciliation of the Early Slip History of the Altyn Tagh Fault, Northern Tibetan

Open Journal of Geology, 2019
Whether the Altyn Tagh fault (ATF) had been extended beyond its current northeastern tip and linked with strike-slip faults in East Asia is a key to understanding the timing and mechanisms of crustal deformation in the northern Tibetan Plateau. We present Late Cretaceous dextral movement affected by Okhotomorsk Block-East Asia collision and a larger ...

Underthrusting of Tarim Lower Crust Beneath the Tibetan Plateau Revealed by Receiver Function Imaging

Geophysical Research Letters
The left‐lateral Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) system is the northern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau resulted from the India–Eurasia continental collision. How intracontinental deformation across the central ATF responds to the distal collision remains elusive,

Geometry and late Quaternary slip rate of the Tuolai Shan-Hala Hu segment of the Haiyuan fault, northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Natural Hazards Research
The location and long-term slip rate of active faults are key to elucidating regional deformation distribution and seismicity. The Haiyuan fault zone is an important left-lateral strike-slip fault zone on the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau ...

Research achievements of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau based on 60 years of aeromagnetic surveys

China Geology, 2021
: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (also referred to as the Plateau) has long received much attention from the community of geoscience due to its unique geographical location and rich mineral resources. This paper reviews the aeromagnetic surveys in the Plateau

Crustal Flow‐Driven Plateau Growth and Expansion Front in NE Tibet: Insights From High‐Resolution Attenuation Tomography With High‐Density ChinArray Lg Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract The Northeastern (NE) Tibet, as the front of plateau growth, widely absorbs northeastward extrusion, leading to significant uplift and forming a basin‐mountain tectonic framework. However, it remains unclear how the crust of NE Tibet deformed in response to the far‐field effects of the India‐Eurasia collision.

Rupture Dynamics of the 2025 Mw 7.7 Myanmar Earthquake: A Bilateral Supershear Rupture on Unusually Long Fault Superhighway

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract The 2025 Mw 7.7 Myanmar earthquake ruptured the central Sagaing fault, a previously identified seismic gap with high seismic potential. Here, we perform hundreds of 3D dynamic rupture simulations to investigate the rupture dynamics, constrained by near‐fault strong‐motion waveforms, optical and SAR pixel offsets, and a kinematic source model ...

InSAR slip rate determination on the Altyn Tagh Fault, northern Tibet, in the presence of topographically correlated atmospheric delays

Geophysical Research Letters, 2008
The interseismic strain across the Altyn Tagh Fault at 85°E has been measured using 59 interferograms from 26 ERS‐1/2 SAR acquisitions on a single track for the period 1993–2000.
