Out Of Place: Stone Architecture And Pastoral Nomadism In Prehistoric Inner Asia
… and how the prehistoric landscape of Western Tian Shan was shaped. Three characteristics of place-making and space use are identified. First, the significance of these sites is reinforced through recurring access of specific locations and the adherence to certain building codes. Second, the …

Origin and stratigraphic architecture of the Middle Permian lower and upper Quanzijie low-order cycles, Bogda Mountains, NW China
… interpreted as being derived from the northern Tian Shan volcanic arc to the south and from local rift shoulders. This study provides a detailed sedimentologic, stratigraphic, environmental, and paleoclimatic reconstruction in an area were little is known and aims to provide a record in an …

Cenozoic evolution of the Pamir Salient; timing, mechanisms and paleo-environmental impacts : constraints from the Aertashi section, western Tarim Basin
… and southward migrating foreland of the Tian Shan positions the Aertashi region in the depocenter of the Tarim Basin. By ~15 Ma, the Pamir Salient had propagated sufficiently far north, that the north Pamir, and by 11 Ma the Central Pamir were proximal to Aertashi. The Eocene – mid …

Remote Detection of Surging Glaciers Across High Mountain Asia
… 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, characterised by long durations, and …

Modelling surface evolution coupled with tectonics
This study presents the development of 1D and 2D Surface Evolution Codes (SECs) and their coupling to any lithospheric-scale (thermo-)mechanical code with a quadrilateral structured surface mesh. Both SECs involve diffusion as approach for hillslope processes and the stream power law to reflect …
