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 ...

Northward Growth of the West Kunlun Mountains: Insight From the Age–Elevation Relationship of New Apatite Fission Track Data

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Cenozoic collision between India and Asia promoted the widespread uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, with significant deformation documented in the Pamir Plateau and West Kunlun Mountains.

Distribution of Active Faults and Lithospheric Discontinuities in the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogenic Zone Identified by Multiscale Gravity Analysis

Applied Sciences, 2023
The lithospheric structure of the Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent area is a hot topic in geodynamic research. It is important to reveal the mechanism of crustal deformation and tectonic evolution of the study 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 deformation in the southern Tashkorgan region: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the northeastern Pamir

China Geology, 2021
: The Pamir Plateau comprises a series of crustal fragments that successively accreted to the Eurasian margin preceded the India-Asia collision, is an ideal place to study the Mesozoic tectonics.

Effects of Tibetan Plateau summer monsoon on glacier change over the Pamir Plateau during 1980-2012

, 2022
Abstract The glacier over the Pamir Plateau had received a slight expansion during 1980-2012, which was different from ones over the most of High Asia. Our study revealed the possible influencing mechanism of the Tibetan Plateau summer monsoon on glacier change over the Pamir Plateau.

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

, 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,

Indentation of the Pamirs with respect to the northern margin of Tibet: constraints from the Tarim basin sedimentary record [PDF]

, 2016
The Pamirs represent the indented westward continuation of the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, dividing the Tarim and Tajik basins. Their evolution may be a key factor influencing aridification of the Asian interior, yet the tectonics of the ...
