Deformation of Tibet : InSAR analysis and viscous flow models

The Tibetan plateau in central Asia is a prime example of the distributed deformation that occurs in the lithosphere as a result of continental collision. Large scale lithospheric deformation can be estimated using viscous continuum models that balance the vertical stress induced by lateral variatio...
