Rheology of the lithosphere beneath the central and western Tien Shan

The distribution of crustal velocity over a 800 by 400 km region of the Tien Shan shows strain rates with principal contractional axes aligned perpendicular to the mountain chain and with negligible velocity gradients in the along-strike direction. This configuration allows us to describe the dynami...
