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.

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.

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.
