Microwave Brightness Temperature (MBT) Background in Bayan Har Block, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Its Importance in Searching for Seismic MBT Anomalies [PDF]
The abnormal behaviors of microwave brightness temperature (MBT) before and after some strong inland earthquakes have been studied for more than 15 years, but the normal features of MBT background in the investigated regions still lack essential ...

Crustal velocity structure and composition of Bayan Har block and surrounding areas
The Bayan Har block, one of China's most seismically active regions, has experienced multiple major earthquakes (≥M 7.0) in recent years. It is a key area for investigating the interactions between the Qinghai-Xizang (Qingzang) Plateau and adjacent ...

Resolving co- and early post-seismic slip variations of the 2021 MW 7.4 Madoi earthquake in east Bayan Har block with a block-wide distributed deformation mode from satellite synthetic aperture radar data [PDF]
On 21 May 2021 (UTC), an MW 7.4 earthquake jolted the east Bayan Har block in the Tibetan Plateau. The earthquake received widespread attention as it is the largest event in the Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings since the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, and

SUMMARY Recently, the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau has experienced three moderate earthquakes. Deep crustal structure is a critical factor for understanding the seismotectonic environment and deformations in this region. Although several multidisciplinary geophysical approaches have been used to develop crustal structure models ...
