Crustal Deformation Modes in the Pamir‐Tianshan Inferred From Crustal Anisotropy: Compressional Shortening Versus Gravitational Collapse

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract The Pamir Plateau stands out at the westernmost Tibetan Plateau as a north‐facing convex promontory, bordering the tectonically rejuvenated Tianshan orogen. To understand the mode of crustal deformation, we analyze crustal anisotropy in the Pamir‐Tianshan using shear wave splitting of the Moho‐converted phases.

Nonuse values of climate policy: An empirical study in Xinjiang and Beijing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Climate policy measures can be roughly subdivided into mitigation measures and adaptation measures. Mitigation policy aims at a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with the overall goal of slowing down climate change and global warming.

Geodetic Strain Rates, Slip Deficit Rates, and Seismic Potential in the Tianshan, Central Asia

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract The Tianshan is an intracontinental orogenic belt that has experienced over 100 Mw ≥ 6 earthquakes since 1700. However, strain rates and slip deficit rates on mapped faults in this region—key factors in assessing its seismic potential—remain underexplored.

Vegetation, Ökosystemdynamik und Renaturierung von zentralasiatischen Flussauen am Beispiel des Tarim in Xinjiang, NW-China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Naturally, the floodplains of Central Asian rivers harbour riparian, so-called ‘Tugai’ forests, reeds with Phragmites australis, and shrub communities which form a mosaic depending on the variety of available ground water.
