“…1). Although some ranges in northeastern Tibet likely experienced deformation in Eocene time Clark et al, 2010;Duvall et al, 2011;Yuan et al, 2013), widespread exposures of Neogene-Quaternary basin fi ll suggest that most of these ranges are associated with thrust faults that initiated during the middle to late Miocene (Fang et al, 2005;Zheng et al, 2006;Lease et al, 2007Lease et al, , 2012aLease et al, , 2012bCraddock et al, 2011a;Hough et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2012;Duvall et al, 2013;Yuan et al, 2013, and references therein). Few of these fault networks have experienced instrumental earthquakes (Global Centroid Moment Tensor Catalog, 2012); however, geomorphic observations along fault-bounded range fronts indicate that many have been active during the Holocene (Peltzer et al, 1988;Meyer et al, 1998;Van der Woerd et al, 2001;Hetzel et al, 2004;Champagnac et al, 2010;Hetzel, 2013;Zheng et al, 2013).…”
