Abstract

2012-06-01 to 2012-08-30
TIPTIMON (Tien-Shan-Pamir Monitoring Program) is a cross-disciplinary project that comprises long-term monitoring of geodynamics and climate in the Central Asian states Kyrgyzstan, Tadjikistan, and Uzbekistan. The monitoring seeks to quantify geologic processes like deformation, erosion, and sedimentation as well as their rates, interactions with climate factors, and hazard potential for human habitats.The aim of the magnetotelluric part within TIPTIMON is to understand the 3D crustal structure in the main Pamir zone, which is Asia's most active intra-continental subduction zone outside the Himalaya.
