Recent Uplift Characteristics of the Southeast Tibetan Plateau, an Analysis Based on Fluvial Indices

The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is well known for its large strike–slip faults with high slip rates and a potential seismic hazards. However, little about thrust associated hazards, even though they can produce devastating earthquakes despite their relatively low rate. Here we investigated the recent tectonic uplift pattern in SETP on regional scale by combining geomorphic analysis geodetic data. We quantify differential recorded long-term landscape evolution indices compare them derived from decadal leveling data millennial-scale fluvial terrace incision rates. results show that northwest of underwent higher compared to southeast areas, which agreement GPS-based leveling. Essentially, build two value ranges are spatially clustered separated Muli fault system, transverse orientated oblique/perpendicular fault. indicating rapid correspond side fault, therefore, acted as an important topographic boundary absorbing partial crustal movement. Hence, further detailed studies, such seismological investigations, suggested be conducted hazards evaluation.
