Magnetotelluric Data from the Tien Shan and Pamir Continental Collision Zones, Central Asia
2010
We present magnetotelluic (MT) data obtained within the framework of the multidisciplinary Tien Shan Pamir Geodynamic Program (TIPAGE). The dynamics of the Tien Shan and Pamir orogenic belts are dominated by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian continental plates. With the geophysical components, we intend to image the deepest active intra-continental subduction zones on Earth (the N-dipping Hindu Kush and the S-dipping Pamir zones) and to establish how the highest strain over the shortest distance that is manifested in the India-Asia collision zone is accommodated structurally. The Tien Shan-Pamirs mountain knot forms the northwestern corner of the India-Asia
