Whether strike‐slip fault systems in Eurasia accomplish eastward extrusion of Tibetan crust and lithosphere depends largely on the kinematics deformation at tip. Here we present new slip rate determinations using millennial‐scale geomorphic markers from sites along easternmost segment Kunlun north central Tibet. This system represents one major faults within Indo‐Asian collision zone, has been argued to exhibit uniform rates much its length, plays a role models for lithosphere. Displaced...
The distribution of slip during an earthquake and how it propagates among faults in the subduction system play a major role seismic tsunami hazards, yet they are poorly understood because offshore observations often lacking. Here we derive rupture evolution 2016 Mw 7.9 Kaikōura (New Zealand) that reconcile surface rupture, space geodetic measurements, seismological waveform records. We use twelve fault segments, with eleven crust one on megathrust interface, to model data match features...
Abstract GPS field and seismic data show that the southeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau is tectonically seismically active. This activity due to southeastward extrusion Chuandian fragment, a large crustal block rotating clockwise around northeastern syntaxis Himalayas. The eastern boundary fault this fragment defined by left‐lateral Xianshuihe‐Xiaojiang fault, which abruptly truncates Sichuan basin Yangtze block. Our paper presents evidence indicating experienced right‐lateral shear along...
Abstract The distribution of hydraulic‐fracturing‐related seismicity is largely controlled by subsurface structures, yet the physical process that governs redistribution injected fluids and stress heterogeneity remains underexplored due to a lack observational constraints. In this study, we monitored an active hydraulic fracturing (HF) well for two months with surface nodal array 60 three‐component stations. We built high‐resolution catalog comprised 1369 events (; Mc = −0.2). Their...
Abstract Characterizing the 700 km wide system of active faults on Shan Plateau, southeast eastern Himalayan syntaxis, is critical to understanding geodynamics and seismic hazard large region that straddles neighboring China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam. Here we evaluate fault styles slip rates over multi‐timescales, reanalyze previously published short‐term Global Positioning System (GPS) velocities, slip‐rate gradients interpret regional kinematics drive crustal motion.

Abstract Continental‐scale shear zones play an important role in accommodating block extrusion and rotation as shown by deformation on the Ailaoshan‐Red River zone (ASRRSZ) SE Tibetan Plateau. This study presents 13 apatite (U‐Th)/He, 11 zircon three fission track dates, together with thermal modeling Ailaoshan Xuelongshan segments (ALSZ XLSZ) of to investigate its Cenozoic exhumation history mechanism, which are critical for understanding tectonic landscape evolution. Our results, combined...
MOTIVATIONThe rates and distribution of slip on Asian strike-slip faults, both ancient modern, play a central role in conceptual models the way which continental lithosphere deforms response to collision.Early recognition scale extent recent activity along these structures (Tapponnier Molnar, 1977) led that considered eastward displacement internally rigid blocks Tibetan be primary means by ongoing convergence India with Eurasia was accommodated (e.g., Molnar Tapponnier, 1975;Tapponnier et...
Variations in the strength of Asian monsoon during Holocene time are thought to have been associated with widespread changes precipitation across much Tibet. Local records from cave deposits, ice cores, and lake sediments typically rely on proxy data that relate isotopic variations precipitation. Lake expansion contraction response changing water balance likewise inferred sedimentologic, paleobiologic proxies, but relatively few direct volume preserved shorelines exist. Here we utilize...
Abstract The Red River fault is an important plate‐boundary that has played a significant role in the tectonic evolution of northern Southeast Asia. Nonetheless, its millennial slip rate and earthquake recurrence behavior are poorly constrained. Analysis 5‐ 30‐m‐resolution topography reveals right‐lateral offsets range from 60 m to 24 km along “mid‐valley” trace but none “range‐front” trace. This strongly implies range‐front experienced very little lateral for millions years, even though it...
Abstract Whether tectonic strain from the early stage India‐Asia collision has synchronously affected far‐field margin of Tibetan Plateau is crucial for understanding plateau deformation and growth processes. However, direct evidence remains scarce. Utilizing illite K‐Ar dating three fault gouge samples, we established faulting history Leibo zone (LFZ) at southeastern (SEMTP). Consistent authigenic ages 52 ± 2, 54 12 55 6 Ma suggest reactivated thrust LFZ in Early Cenozoic. Positioned ∼700...
The Hengduan Mountains in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau develop one of most complex active fault systems on Earth. GPS measurements and seismic data reveal that these drive present-day eastward crustal transport clockwise rotation around Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis. In this study, we investigate regional block kinematics based slip displacement, spacing, orientations block-bounding strike-slip faults Mountains. results rates, angles, radius are then comprehensively analyzed, combined with...
Abstract Eastern Tibet is an important example of oblique convergence and associated strain partitioning, as suggested by recent 2‐D 3‐D structural interpretations, yet the nature evolution partitioning this region remain poorly known. Here we use seismic reflection profiles, borehole data, field investigations in Longmen Shan piedmont to determine subsurface architecture, observe several nearly N‐S striking thrusts reactivation NE preexisting faults. We interpret that behavior due a...
<p>The transition to low-carbon energy generation requires a diverse portfolio of sources. Large hydropower stations play crucial role in providing eco-friendly but can lead crustal deformation and seismic activity due reservoir impoundment discharge. The mechanism behind how impoundment-induced influences reservoir-triggered seismicity remains unclear. We investigate this at the world��s 4<sup>th</sup> largest station Xiluodu, China, using interdisciplinary analyses...
Abstract Although geodetic measurements of interseismic deformation in interior Tibet suggest slow strain accumulation, active slip along the right‐lateral Gyaring Co Fault is suggested to be between 8 and 21 mm/yr. Reliable geologic constraints on rate this fault are sparse. Here we document 12 ± 2 m displacement lacustrine shorelines across Fault. Optically stimulated luminescence ages tightly clustered 4.1 4.4 ka. These data require an average 2.2–3.2 mm/yr central during latter half...
Abstract Global cooling and/or Tibetan Plateau uplift have long been regarded as the principal drivers of late Cenozoic central Asian aridification and resulting widespread accumulation eolian deposits in eastern Asia. However, these two factors are unable to form large source areas fine‐grained sediments enhancing deposition synchronously from northern Tibet North Pacific. Here we provide magnetostratigraphic detrital apatite fission‐track evidence for a major sediment recycling event at ∼8...
Abstract In an orogen‐foreland basin system, syn‐orogenic sedimentation and deformation records within the foreland provide critical evidence for understanding uplift erosion processes of adjacent orogenic belts. Foreland fold‐and‐thrust belts (FTBs) are widely developed around Tian Shan range, Central Asia. Problem how crustal shortening accumulates propagates from to basins is essential overall dynamics Shan. this study, we interpreted three high‐resolution seismic reflection profiles...
How long-term changes in surface topography relate to coseismic uplift is key understanding the creation of high elevations along active mountain fronts, and remains hotly debated. Here we investigate this link by modeling development growth strata folding river terraces above Pishan duplex system southern Tarim Basin. We show that synchronous thrusting two neighboring faults with varying slip rates, associated in-sequence propagation thrust system, required explain presence opposite-dipping...
The 2016, moment magnitude (Mw) 7.8, Kaikoura earthquake generated the most complex surface ruptures ever observed. Although likely linked with kinematic changes in central New Zealand, driving mechanisms of such complexity remain unclear. Here, we propose an interpretation accounting for puzzling aspects 2016 rupture. We examine partitioning plate motion and coseismic slip during event around large-scale fault kinematics, volcanism, seismicity, slab geometry broader Tonga-Kermadec region....
Abstract Subhorizontal lake shorelines allow a geodynamic test of the size and extent hypothesized paleolake in central Tibet, East Qiangtang Lake (EQL), during last interglacial period (marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e). Reconstructions based on relict deposits suggest that EQL would have been ~400 m deep over ~66,000 km 2 . Models flexural rebound driven by recession predict near center, at present‐day location Siling Co, rebounded 60–90 above their initial elevation. New 36 Cl chronology...
