Strain Rates Along the Alpine‐Himalayan Belt From a Comprehensive GNSS Velocity Field
Abstract The Alpine‐Himalayan belt is one of Earth's most dynamic and complex regions, characterized by intense tectonic deformation and seismicity. Comprehensive analyses of continental‐scale crustal deformation and seismic hazards along this extensive orogenic belt require the compilation of large geodetic data sets.

Emulsion chamber observations and interpretation (HE 3) [PDF]
Experimental results from Emulsion Chamber (EC) experiments at mountain altitudes or at higher levels using flying carriers are examined. The physical interest in this field is concentrated on the strong interaction at the very high energy region ...

Continental drift and plateau uplift control origination and evolution of Asian and Australian monsoons [PDF]
Evolutions of Asian and Australian monsoons have important significance for understanding the past global change but are still a controversial subject. Here, we explore systematically the effects of plate movement and plateau uplift on the formation and ...

Range‐Parallel Extension of the Andes in the 2020 Mw 5.7 Humahuaca Earthquake
Abstract Normal‐faulting earthquakes in mountain ranges provide important constraints on the dynamics of mountain building. To date, well‐documented examples of range‐parallel extension come primarily from the Tibetan Plateau, limiting our ability to test different models for its cause.

Abstract The Ilyak fault in Tajikistan is an E‐W striking strike‐slip fault, which forms the northern boundary of the actively deforming Tajik Basin fold and thrust belt. Determining the activity of the Ilyak fault is important for understanding the hazard to the nearby capital city of Dushanbe, and more generally in assessing the role of lithology in ...

Geophysical study of the structure and processes of the continental convergence zones: Alpine-Himalayan belt [PDF]
Studies of the structure of the continental collision zones using seismic and body waves, theoretical modelling of the thermal regime of the convergence processes, and studies of earthquake mechanisms and deformation aspects of the model are ...

Intraseasonal variability of winter precipitation over Central Asia and the Western Tibetan plateau from 1979 to 2013 and its relationship with the North Atlantic Oscillation [PDF]
Winter precipitation over Central Asia and the western Tibetan Plateau (CAWTP) is mainly a result of the interaction between the westerly circulation and the high mountains around the plateau.
