Research progress of Jiali fault activity

地球与行星物理论评, 2021
The Jiali fault is a large strike-slip fault that traverses the southeast of the Tibetan Plateau. It played an important role as an adjustment fault for adjusting stress balance both before and after the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. Based

Structure-controlled asperities of the 1920 Haiyuan M8.5 and 1927 Gulang M8 earthquakes, NE Tibet, China, revealed by high-resolution seismic tomography

Scientific Reports, 2021
Detailed crustal structure of large earthquake source regions is of great significance for understanding the earthquake generation mechanism. Numerous large earthquakes have occurred in the NE Tibetan Plateau, including the 1920 Haiyuan M8.5 and 1927 ...

Paleomagnetic and Chronologic Data Bearing on the Permian/Triassic Boundary Position of Qamdo in the Eastern Qiantang Terrane: Implications for the Closure of the Paleo‐Tethys

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
The tectonic evolution of the eastern Paleo‐Tethys in the Three‐Rivers headwater region remains uncertain, especially because of the lack of quality paleomagnetic data from the east Eastern Qiangtang Terrane (EQT).

Mapping and chronological classification of marine terraces along the southern side of the Sibari Plain (northern Calabria, Italy) by means of digital and analogue tools

Journal of Maps, 2023
We study the marine terraces of the southern side of the Sibari Plain in Northern Calabria (Italy) through the use of traditional and quantitative analyses of the Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The main aim of the present work consists in the extensive use

Distributed Fiber Optic Strain Sensing for Geomechanical Monitoring: Insights from Field Measurements of Ground Surface Deformation

Geosciences, 2021
In recent years, distributed fiber optic strain sensing (DFOSS) technology has demonstrated a solution for continuous deformation monitoring from subsurface to surface along the wellbore. In this study, we installed a single-mode optical fiber cable in a

Paleodietary and Paleoclimatic Reconstruction of Hipparion Fauna at ∼9 Ma From the Xunhua Basin on the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Stable isotope analysis is pivotal for investigating the paleodiet and paleoecology of ancient mammals. Recently, a ∼9-Myr-old Hipparion fauna was discovered at an elevation of ∼2,200 m above sea level (a.s.l.) in the Xunhua Basin on the northeastern ...

Subduction Evolution Controlled Himalayan Orogenesis: Implications from 3-D Subduction Modeling

Applied Sciences, 2022
Himalayan orogenesis remains enigmatic in terms of Tibetan Plateau geodynamics originating from the Cenozoic India–Eurasian continental collision. India underthrusts below Tibet to the Yarlung–Tsangpo suture, which has been identified as the northernmost

Quaternary Volcanism in Myanmar: A Record of Indian Slab Tearing in a Transition Zone From Oceanic to Continental Subduction

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Magmatic processes that occur during the transition from oceanic to continental subduction and collision in orogens are critical and still poorly resolved.

In search of marine terraces from Central Dobrogea (Casimcea Plateau, Western Black Sea). Preliminary inquiries on distribution, extension and vertical crustal movements

Revista de Geomorfologie, 2020
Casimcea Plateau is an uplifted (exhumated) peneplain cut in Proterozoic green–schists and one of the oldest tec­tonic units around the Black Sea. Despite its overall monotonous physiognomy, the plateau is crossed by Casimcea Valley and presents a ...
