Uplift of the West Kunlun Range, northern Tibetan Plateau, dominated by brittle thickening of the upper crust

High-resolution seismic reflection data from the West Kunlun Range front show that crustal structures beneath the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau are dominated by nappes of upper crustal rocks. Geological cross-section balancing suggests an average of 24.6–54 km (38%–52%) of upper crustal...
