Seismic reflection imaging of crustal deformation within the eastern Yarlung-Zangbo suture zone

Various models have been proposed to explain formational mechanisms for the Himalayan orogeny but uncertainties remain concerning uplift processes and deeper crustal structure of the orogen. Imaging of the orogen's deep structure can help resolve these uncertainties. This paper describes one migrated deep seismic reflection profile across the eastern Yarlung-zangbo suture (YZS) at 92° E, which provides a high resolution image of crustal...
