Sedimentary Characteristics and Shallow Crustal Response to the Tarim Basin‐Altyn Tagh Range Interaction: Constraints From Short‐Period Receiver Functions
Abstract
Abstract The Altyn Tagh Range (ATR) and its associated fault system form a tectonic boundary between the Tarim Basin and the Tibetan Plateau, playing a pivotal role in basin subsidence and mountain uplift. While lithospheric models have elucidated deep structural responses to the Tarim Basin‐ATR interaction, shallow crustal structures and deformation mechanisms remain elusive. We developed a Bayesian‐based method that integrates multifrequency receiver functions (RFs) and P ‐wave polarizations to resolve shallow crustal (
