“…Furthermore, an increasing amount of data from studies on sedimentology, thermochronology, and paleoelevation across eastern Tibet indicate that surface uplift began before the Latest Eocene (Cao et al., 2019; Hoke et al., 2014; S. Y. Li et al., 2015; Liu‐Zeng et al., 2018; E. Wang et al., 2012; Z. Y. Xiong et al., 2020; Z. Yang et al., 2017; H. P. Zhang et al., 2016). The Early Cenozoic deformation in eastern Tibet could have been accommodated through deformation mainly along the major boundary faults, including the Yulong‒Yalong‒Longmen Shan thrust belt and the Ailao Shan‒Red River shear zone (Figure 1; Cao et al., 2019; Gilley et al., 2003; Leloup et al., 1995, 2001; E. Wang et al., 2012; Y. Wang et al., 2020; H. P. Zhang et al., 2016; C. Y. Zhu et al., 2021). Therefore, some studies explained that the northward indention of the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis could have triggered the initiation of early‐stage Cenozoic faulting in eastern Tibet (Schoenbohm, Burchfiel, & Chen, 2006).…”
