Evidence for Late Triassic crustal suturing of the Central and Southern Pamir

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2020
The timing of closure of the Paleotethys and Rushan ocean basins and suturing of Gondwanan crustal fragments in the Pamir is not well resolved. Whereas the Central Pamir terrane is generally interpreted to have collided with the Northern Pamir terrane at

Hybrids as mirrors of the past: genomic footprints reveal spatio-temporal dynamics and extinction risk of alpine extremophytes in the mountains of Central Asia [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Hybridization is one of the key processes shaping lineage diversification, particularly in regions that experienced strong climate oscillations. The alpine biome with its rich history of glacial-interglacial cycles and complex patterns of species ...

Sedimentary Provenance Changes Constrain the Eocene Initial Uplift of the Central Pamir, NW Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Pamir Plateau region of the Northwestern Tibetan Plateau forms a prominent tectonic salient, separating the Tajik and Tarim basins. However, the topographic evolution of the Pamir Plateau remains elusive, despite the key role of this region played in

Deep Crustal Structure Beneath the Pamir–Tibetan Plateau: Insights From the Moho Depth and Vp/Vs Ratio Variation

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Cenozoic convergence between India and Asia has created Earth’s thickest crust in the Pamir–Tibetan plateau, leading to broadly distributed deformation and extensive crustal shortening; however, the crustal deformation of the high plateau is still ...

Seismic Damage and Analysis of the Xiker Earth Dam During the 2020 Jiashi Earthquake, Northwestern China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The 2020 Jiashi Mw 6.0 earthquake occurred at the Kepingtage fold-and-thrust belt in the South Tianshan front, Northwestern China. The ground shaking caused extensive co-seismic deformation of the Xiker dam in the meizoseismal area.

Two kinematic transformations of the Pamir salient since the Mid-Cenozoic: Constraints from multi-timescale deformation analysis

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Pamir salient is a key part of the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau orogenic system and has undergone intense tectonic deformation during the India–Asian collision.

Early Cretaceous displacement on the Tanymas thrust fault, Northern Pamir, Tajikistan, and regional tectonic implications

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2023
An ongoing question in understanding the evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogeny is how much of the observed upper crustal shortening and crustal thickness is related to the Cenozoic collision between India and Asia vs earlier tectonic events along ...

Eocene paleoelevation of the Tuoyun Basin, northeastern Pamirs: Evidence from a lava-vesicle-based paleoaltimeter

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2023
The arc-shape Pamir tectonic belt is located on the northwestern margin of the Tibetian plateau. At present, there are many different understandings on the history of the Pamir Plateau uplift, mainly on the time of uplift, which seriously affects the ...

A comparative analysis of the vertical distribution of butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea, Papilionoidea) within the mountain ridges of the South-West Pamir (Tajikistan) [PDF]

Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2016
The comparative analysis of butterfly faunas of the mountain ridges of South-West Pamir (Tajikistan) (Rushan, Shugnan, Shakhdara ridges) is presented. The butterfly fauna of this region contains 126  species: 107  species in Rushan ridge, 116 species in ...
