Differential strain transfer, Longmen Shan thrust belt, eastern Tibetan Plateau margin: Implications for seismic hazards

Southeastward strain transfer in the middle-southern Longmen Shan (LMS) thrust belt not only can promote the development of fault-related folds and earthquakes in the piedmont, but also affect the seismogenic capacity of the middle-southern LMS thrust belt. However, the detailed transfer process remains elusive. In this work, we combine structural profile re-analysis, sandbox modeling and seismic statistics to illustrate the strain transfer...
