Investigation of Timing and Magnitude of Crustal Shortening in Southern Tibet

小行星9316176 尽管人们认为青藏高原的形成与印支-亚洲碰撞有关，但青藏高原碰撞前地壳缩短信息的作用仍不明确，但由于碰撞前褶皱和逆冲断层的存在，可能存在缩短信息。 一项勘测调查表明，这些特征十分广泛，该项目旨在进行详细的实地测绘和热年代学研究，以进一步描述碰撞前的变形，并评估它们在多大程度上造成碰撞前地壳增厚。 ***

9316176 Yin Although the Indo-Asia collision is believed to be responsible for the Tibetan plateau, the role of pre-collisional crustal shortening information of the Tibetan plateau remains poorly defined, but may be present due to the existing of pre-collisional folds and thrusts. A reconnaissance investigation indicated such features are extensive, and this project is designed to conduct detailed field mapping and thermochronological studies to further describe the pre-collisional deformation and assess to what extent they were responsible for pre-collision thickening of the crust. ***
