Seismic risk in the east of the Bayan Har block based on the POT model
This article elaborates on a peaks over threshold (POT) model with earthquake samples based on the Pareto distribution. We analyze the earthquakes using the POT model in the eastern Bayan Har block.

The Evolution of Stress and Strain around the Bayan Har Block in the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
With the constraint of GPS observation, the tectonic deformation of the Bayan Har block and its periphery faults is investigated based on an elastoplastic plane-stress finite element model. The results show that the elastic model cannot explain the current GPS observation in the Bayan Har block.

On May 22, 2021, the MS 7.4 earthquake occurred in Madoi County, Qinghai Province; it was another strong event that occurred within the Bayan Har block after the Dari MS 7.7 earthquake in 1947.

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 ...

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

Large earthquakes in the Tibetan Plateau generally occur on block-boundary faults and produce coseismic surface ruptures that indicate the sense of block movement. However, seismic hazard in the block is less concerned.

Aerial Mapping of Coseismic Surface Rupture of 2021 Mw 7.3 Maduo Earthquake, China
The 2021 Mw 7.3 Maduo earthquake is one of the largest seismic events that has occurred in and around the Bayan Har block of Tibet. D-InSAR results and field surveys indicate that this earthquake resulted in more than 160 km of coseismic surface rupture ...
