Abstract The Tien Shan provides an ideal site to study mechanism of intracontinental orogeny due distant effect Indo-Asian collision. We investigate lithospheric structures, in particular the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), Central (CTS) using S wave receiver functions. results show distinct structures across orogen. Under southern CTS, LAB is shallower than that Tarim Basin; a 50 km ...

The eastern Tien Shan hosts substantial mid-latitude glaciers, but in situ glacier mass balance records are extremely sparse. Haxilegen Glacier No. 51 (eastern Shan, China) is one of the very few well-measured and comprehensive glaciological measurements were implemented from 1999 to 2011 re-established 2017. Mass (1999–2015) has recently been reported, record not extended period before 1999. H...

The paper presents brief results of studying the cryosphere Zeravshan and Hissar ranges. At same time, rate change in area glaciers over past almost a hundred years presence degradation permafrost during this time were considered. actual description numerical method for estimating depth soil freezing based on data thickness snow cover air temperature was also given. An example use slopes given ...
