DOI: 10.1002/2017jb014058
Abstract: Knowledge of the evolution of the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) has significant implications for our understanding of the tectonic deformation of the Tibetan Plateau. Controversy exists regarding the formation of the orocline-like arcuate structures or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2019.104069
Abstract: Abstract The eastern end of the Altyn Tagh fault connects the western Qilian Shan thrust belt and its foreland basin, the Hexi Corridor, which contains numerous active faults with various strikes and kinematics. Although understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2020.104312
Abstract: Abstract Sinistral transpressive deformation occurs in the region north of the Altyn Tagh fault due to the Indo-Eurasian collision. In this region, several late Cenozoic faults have developed, and the Sanweishan fault is the key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2020.105954
Abstract: Abstract Kyanite eclogites can provide insights into global orogenic processes within subduction-collision zones. Here we present an integrated study of the petrography, mineral chemistry, zircon U-Pb geochronology, and whole-rock geochemistry of granulitized kyanite eclogites from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2018.04.021
Abstract: The Altyn Tagh range (ATR) is the northern geological boundary of the Tibetan Plateau and plays a key role in accommodating its Cenozoic lithospheric deformation. However, knowledge of the structural style and age of uplift… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/petrology/egy086
Abstract: The South Altyn Tagh continental high-pressure–ultra-high-pressure (HP–UHP) metamorphic belt in West China is claimed to host the most deeply subducted (>300 km) part of Earth’s continental crust, based on the presence of pseudomorphs and paramorphs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/ges02116.1
Abstract: The seismic cycle model is roughly constrained by limited offset data sets from the eastern Altyn Tagh fault with a low slip rate. The recent availability of high-resolution topographic data from the eastern Altyn Tagh… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjes-2016-0090
Abstract: The Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) defines the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau; therefore, its tectonic history is key to understanding the plateau’s northward growth. However, our understanding of ATF tectonics is incomplete, owing in… read more here.
