Controversial end member models for the growth and evolution of the Tibetan Plateau demand quantitative constraints of the lithospheric rheology. Direct determinations of bulk crustal rheology, however, remain relatively sparse. Here we use the flexural rebound of lacustrine shorelines developed during the Lingtong highstand around Siling Co, in central Tibet,...

Although geodetic measurements of interseismic deformation in interior Tibet suggest slow
strain accumulation, active slip along the right-lateral Gyaring Co Fault is suggested to be between 8
and 21 mm/yr. Reliable geologic constraints on the slip rate along this fault are sparse. Here we document
12 ± 2 m of...

Subhorizontal lake shorelines allow a geodynamic test of the size and extent of a hypothesized paleolake in central Tibet, the East Qiangtang Lake (EQL), during the last interglacial period (marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e). Reconstructions based on relict lake deposits suggest that the EQL would have been ~400 m deep...
