Geometry and Kinematics of the North Karlik Tagh Fault: Implications for the Transpressional Tectonics of Easternmost Tian Shan

Geometry and Kinematics of the North Karlik Tagh Fault: Implications for the Transpressional Tectonics of Easternmost Tian Shan

Quantifying the slip rate along geometrically complex strike-slip faults is essential for understanding kinematics and strain partitioning in orogenic systems. The Karlik Tagh forms the easternmost terminus of Tian Shan and represents a critical restraining bend along the sinistral strike-slip Gobi-...
