Tectonic-geomorphology of the Litang fault system, SE Tibetan Plateau, and implication for regional seismic hazard

The Litang fault system (LTFS) in the eastern Tibetan Plateau has generated several large (7.5>M>7) historical earthquakes and has exhumed granitic peaks rising >1700m above the mean elevation of the plateau, despite being located within a tectonic block surrounded by highly active faults....
