The crust in the pamir: Insights from receiver functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Cenozoic convergence between India and Asia has created Earth's thickest crust in the Pamir‐Tibet Plateau by extreme crustal shortening. Here we study the crustal structure of the Pamir and western Tian Shan, the adjacent margins of the Tajik, Tarim,

Recent Seasonal Spatiotemporal Variations in Alpine Glacier Surface Elevation in the Pamir

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Climate change can lead to seasonal surface elevation variations in alpine glaciers. This study first uses DEM (Digital Elevation Model) of Pamir glaciers to develop a denoising model for laser altimetry of ICESat-2 footprints, which reduces the standard

Lateral variations in the crustal structure of the Indo-Eurasian collision zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We thank Michael Ritzwoller and two anonymous reviewers for constructive comments that have helped improve the manuscript. The majority of the seismic data used in this study were downloaded from IRIS DMC.

Quantification of three-dimensional folding using fluvial terraces: A case study from the Mushi anticline, northern margin of the Chinese Pamir

open access: yes, 2013
Fold deformation in three dimensions involves shortening, uplift, and lateral growth. Fluvial terraces represent strain markers that have been widely applied to constrain a fold's shortening and uplift.

Temporal changes in rock uplift rates of folds in the foreland of the Tian Shan and the Pamir from geodetic and geologic data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the evolution of continental deformation zones relies on quantifying spatial and temporal changes in deformation rates of tectonic structures. Along the eastern boundary of the Pamir‐Tian Shan collision zone, we constrain secular variations

Review of Semagystia monticola species group (Lepidoptera, Cossidae: Cossinae) with description of four new species from Central Asia

open access: yesActa Biologica Sibirica, 2023
The article gives a revision of the Semagystia monticola (Groum-Grshimaïlo, 1890) species group (Lepidoptera, Cossidae, Cossinae). The group comprises nine valid species. Detailed data on the distribution of all the species are provided. Four new species

Regional waveform calibration in the Pamir-Hindu Kush region [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Twelve moderate-magnitude earthquakes (m_b 4–5.5) in the Pamir-Hindu Kush region are investigated to determine their focal mechanisms and to relocate them using their regional waveform records at two broadband arrays, the Kyrgyzstan Regional Network ...

Mass Balance of Glacier №139 in the Eastern Pamir’s Lake Karakul Basin

open access: yesCentral Asian Journal of Water Research, 2022
Mountain glaciers, including the poorly examined ones in the Lake Karakul Basin, are considered the most vulnerable part of the cryosphere directly reacting to the changing climatic conditions. The most recent aerial imaging and single field surveys of the Lake Karakul Basin glaciation were carried out as late as in 1953. The investigation of the basin’

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.
