We use 2004–2011 Envisat synthetic aperture radar imagery and InSAR time series methods to estimate the contemporary rates of strain accumulation in the Chaman Fault system in Pakistan and Afghanistan.At29Nwefind long-termslip ratesof16 ± 2.3mm/yr for theGhazabandFault andof8 ± 3.1mm/yr for the Chaman Fault. This makes the Ghazaband Fault one of themost hazardous faults of the plate boundary zo...

The impact of mechanical layering and the strength of the Indian lower crust on the dynamics of the modern India-Asia collisional system are studied using 3-D thermomechanical modeling. The model includes an Indian oceanic domain, Indian continental domain, and an Asian continental domain. Each domain consists of four layers: upper/lower crust, and upper/lower lithospheric mantle. The Tarim and...
