Age-dependent seismic thickness and mechanical strength of the Australian lithosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present constraints on the regional variations of the seismic and mechanical thickness of the Australian lithosphere. We infer the seismic thickness from a waveform tomographic model of S-wave speed, and as a proxy for the elastic thickness we use the

Seismic mapping of the central and southern segments of the Tanlu fault zone using P-wave receiver functions

open access: yesScientific Reports
The central and southern segments of the Tanlu fault zone, located in the collision boundary between the Yangtze Plate and the North China Craton, underwent complex tectonic deformation associated with the Pacific Plate subduction.

A review on the magnetotelluric studies over the Central Asian Orogenic Belt—recent developments and future aspects

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) was originated from the subduction, closure, convergence, and post-collisional extension of the Paleo-Asian Ocean located between the North China Craton, Tarim Craton, and the Siberian Craton during the late Permian
