SAR interferometry analysis of surface processes in the Pamir – Tien Shan active orogens - emphasis on coseismic deformation and landslides
… between the southern Tien Shan and the northern Pamir the coseismic surface displacements are analysed using SAR (Synthetic Aperture RADAR) data. The results show clear gradients in the vertical and horizontal directions along a complex pattern of surface ruptures and active faults. To integrate …

Cenozoic evolution of the Pamir Salient; timing, mechanisms and paleo-environmental impacts : constraints from the Aertashi section, western Tarim Basin
… impacts on both regional and global climate. The Pamir represents the indented westward continuation of the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau making them a key study area to examine internal deformation and intracontinental subduction processes. Yet the tectonics of the Pamir Salient is …

Using 3D geodynamic slab models in tectonic reconstruction
… at ~18 Ma. The second region of study is the Pamir and Hindu Kush. Seismic velocity anomalies and active deep seismicity here have led to numerous interpretations of the morphology of the subducted lithosphere in this region. Two possible interpretations are modelled and evaluated with …

The use of 10Be surface exposure dating of erratic boulders in the reconstruction of the late Pleistocene glaciation history of mountainous regions, with examples from Nepal and Central Asia
… 5) provided 108 new Be-10 exposure ages for the Pamir, and the Alay- and Turkestan Ranges, defining a new glacial chronology for Central Asia. The analytical procedure used to extract Be-10 from quartz-bearing rocks and to prepare it for measurement closely followed the one established at the ETH …

Remote Detection of Surging Glaciers Across High Mountain Asia
… a northwest-southeast transect, stretching from Pamir through Karakoram, to West Kunlun Shan. In Tian Shan and Himalaya surge incidence was isolated. Pamir glacier surge variables support a dominant hydrologically-regulated surge mechanism, in contrast to Karakoram and West Kunlun Shan glaciers, …

… effects at least 2,500 years ago in the Pamir Mountains in central Asia. Viewed quite negative in recent centuries though, cannabis is currently illegal in most of the countries in the world, including the United States at the federal level. Started as early as in the 1970s, cannabis was …

Source parameters of the major historical earthquakes in the Tien-Shan region from the late 19th to the early 20th century
The Tien-Shan and the neighboring Pamir region are two of the largest mountain belts in the world. Their deformation is dominated by intermontane basins bounded by active thrust and reverse faulting. The Tien-Shan mountain belt is characterized by a very high rate of seismicity along its margins as …

Modelling surface evolution coupled with tectonics
… applications refer to the evolution of the Pamir orogen. A calibration of DANSER's parameters with geomorphological data and a DEM as initial topography highlights the advantage of lateral incision. Preserving the channel width and reflecting incision peaks in narrow channels, this closes …

By hotter winds : the road to Samarkand
… had to negotiate desert roads and traverse the Pamir Highway, second-highest in the world. Before reaching Samarkand we’d have lost ten kilogrammes each, seen a hundred busts of Lenin and been harried by a thousand officious border guards and ex-KGB policemen. We discovered a region that is as …

Auditory-based processing of communication sounds
… ‘passive-aggressive model for image retrieval’ (PAMIR) was used to learn the relationships between dictionary words and these auditory codewords. These auditory sparse codes were compared against sparse codes generated from MFCCs, and the best performance was found when using the auditory …

The tectonic evolution of the western Tien Shan
… stress transfer along the rigid Tarim block or Pamir indentation has been proposed to account for Himalayan hinterland deformation. However, the extent of the episode requires a different and broader geodynamic driver.

The Aral Sea : a palaeoclimate archive
