Seismotectonics of the Pamir [PDF]

Tectonics, 2014
AbstractBased on a 2 year seismic record from a local network, we characterize the deformation of the seismogenic crust of the Pamir in the northwestern part of the India‐Asia collision zone. We located more than 6000 upper crustal earthquakes in a regional 3‐D velocity model.

Overexpression of miRNA29a gene inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of jejunal epithelial cells in yak [PDF]

Animal Biotechnology
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) were identified to be involved in various biological functions by regulating the degradation or suppressing the translation of their downstream target genes. Recent studies have identified miR-29a play a key role in functions of mammal

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 ...

Metamorphic dolomitic marble-hosted talc from the Mulvoj area in the Western Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan

Mineralogia, 2023
Talc is crystallized in the metamorphic dolomitic rocks of the southwest Pamir mountains in the Mulvoj area, Tajikistan. Field studies show that talc is restricted to metamorphic dolomitic marble layers in the garnet-mica schist and gneiss.

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

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 ...
