TL;DR: Fission-track data from apatite in Early Cretaceous sedimentary strata exposed on the hanging-wall of Liupan Shan thrust fault in northeastern Tibet suggest that a late Cenozoic rapid cooling events occurred at 7.3-8.2-Ma or ~8.8-Ma as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Tian Shan has undergone a complex Late Cenozoic shortening history, and conclude that the present shortening rate must have varied over time, possibly in pulsed-southward migrating events.

TL;DR: Magnetostratigraphy from the Kashi foreland basin along the southern margin of the Tian Shan in Western China defines the chronology of both sedimentation and the structural evolution of this collisional mountain belt.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper collected 358 sites within the Atushi Formation and Xiyu Formation across Atushi-Talanghe anticline near Atushi Thermal demagnetization behavior, reversal and fold tests of paleomagnetic stability indicate that the characteristic remanence directions were acquired before tilting and folding of the strata in this region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used thermochronologic data collected along the eastward-flowing, deeply incised, antecedent Tashkorgan-Yarkand River, which crosses the fault system on the eastern flank of the orogen.
