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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Cyclic Fault Slip Under the Magnifier: Co‐ and Postseismic Response of the Pamir Front to the 2015 Mw7.2 Sarez, Central Pamir, Earthquake

open access: yesTectonics, 2022
The constant increase of geodetic instrumentation over the past decades enables us to not only detect ever smaller tectonic signals but also to monitor their evolution in time and space. We present spatial and temporal slip variations observed on a fault

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yesКавказский 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 ...

Slight change of glaciers in the Pamir over the period 2000–2017

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2022
Glaciers in the Pamir are the water tower of arid Central Asia, and more than 50 million people depend on meltwater from them. Many studies have reported glacier changes in the Pamir, but the glacier inventories employed in the previous investigations ...

Geology of Chernogorskoe gem-quality skapolite deposit (Central Pamirs, Tajikistan) [PDF]

open access: yesГеология рудных месторождений, 2019
The Montenegrin jewel scapolite deposit, which relates to a new genetic type, is characterized. It is located in the Central Pamirs (Tajikistan) and is localized in the sarydzhilginsk formation of the muzkol series (PR1). The enclosing rocks are metamorphosed basite-ultrabasic formations of the kukurt complex, among which harzburgites were first ...
