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 ...

Unraveling the Evolutionary History of Snow Sheep (<i>Ovis nivicola</i>): Genome-Wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity and Clarifies Taxonomy. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study chronicles all described subspecies of snow sheep (Ovis nivicola) since 1829, reviewing taxonomic assessments by key systematists. Using genome‐wide SNP genotyping on 337 samples from 15 populations, we validate and refine subspecies classifications, revealing eight genetic clusters and proposing a new subspecies (O. n. ernsti).

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 ...
