The Crustal Structure and Tectonic Evolution of Southern Xinjiang, China

Xinjiang is located on the northern side of the world-roof, the Pamir-Tibet plateau. The Pamir-Tibet plateau. The Qinghai-Tibet plateau and its surrounding area are the study Hotpoint for the geoscientists in the world.
From 1996 to 1999, the multidisciplinary researches of the project have been done, including two branches: geophysical research and geological and geochemical research. Based on the field work of three years, a series of new data and ideas have been obtained. This book is a summary of the project.
