DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2019.01.002
Abstract: Abstract Lower crustal flow zones occur in large and hot orogens and rifts, where they occur in association with large areas possessing high gravitational potential energy (GPE) and low lower crust viscosity. Lower crustal flow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggae080
Abstract: The Lijiang–Xiaojinhe fault (LXF) and its vicinity are located in the transition zone among the Tibetan Plateau (TP), the South China block and the Indochina block. Researchers believe that this area has acted as a… read more here.
