Abstract
In our recent paper [van Hinsbergen et al., 2011a], we
provide a kinematic restoration of Cenozoic deformation in
Asia based on the currently available kinematic estimates on
fault zones and fold-thrust belts in Tibet, the Pamir, the Tien
Shan, Mongolia, Siberia and Indochina. Our reconstruction
suggests that approximately 1050 km (in the Pamir) to
600 km (in eastern Tibet) of India-Asia convergence was
accommodated by intraAsian shortening in the last ~50 Ma...
