The paper presents results of retrospective analysis satellite temperature time series above the epicentral area destructive Nura earthquake M=6.7, occurred in a seismically active Tien-Shan region on October 5, 2008. An algorithm based use modified STA/LTA criterion has been developed for purpose selection and identification perturbations associated with seismic activity. It established that a...

Glaciers in China are primarily located in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and surrounding high mountains. The Chinese Glacier Inventory indicates that there are 46 377 glaciers in western China. Meteorological records indicate that air temperature in western China has risen by 0.28C per decade since 1951, and 1998 was the warmest year; precipitation in the region increased by 5–10% per decade from 19...

The paper presents brief results of the modern studies cryosphere Zeravshan and Gissar ranges. Also rate decrease in area glaciers over last almost a hundred years presence degradation permafrost during that time were considered. actual description methodic for estimation depth ground freezing based on air temperature snow thickness data also given. An experience application this method estimat...

The deep crustal deformation in the east Pamir response to Cenozoic collision with Tien Shan and Tarim Basin is so far poorly constrained. We present new insights into structure of its surrounding regions using P receiver functions from 40 temporary permanent seismic stations. thickness reaches a maximum 88 km beneath central southern decreases sharply 50–60 along 41–50 below Basin. most promin...
