However, the geological features of Quaternary deformation, especially in the easternmost sector near Harlik Mountain, remain elusive. Field observations, topographic analysis, and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating were employed to comprehensively assess the deformation features and evaluate the deformation pattern for this region during the Quaternary period. The results disclose evidence of deformation in the northern and southern foreland basins of Harlik Mountain. In the Barkol Basin to the north, crustal shortening results in the formation of surface scarps and folds, indicating north-directed thrusting, with a shortening rate of ~0.15 mm\/yr. In the Hami Basin, the north-directed thrust elevates the granites, which offset the alluvial fans, with a shortening rate of ~0.18 mm\/yr. Together with the shortening along the boundary fault, the aggregated north\u2013south shortening rate is approximately 0.69 mm\/yr in the easternmost Tian Shan, corresponding with the differential motion rate between the north and south Harlik Mountain revealed by the GPS velocity. These findings imply that, distal to the collision zone, tectonic strain in the eastern Tian Shan is primarily accommodated through the reactivation of pre-existing strike\u2013slip faults, with crustal shortening concentrated at the overlapping position of parallel northeast-trending left-lateral strike\u2013slip faults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16173343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]],"date-time":"2024-09-09T04:15:01Z","timestamp":1725855301000},"page":"3343","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Quaternary Deformation along the Gobi\u2013Tian Shan Fault in the Easternmost Tian Shan (Harlik Mountain), Central Asia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8199-2819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tianyi","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Tectonics, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Tectonics, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guocan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Tectonics, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dehai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Tectonics, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Orogenic Belts and Crustal Evolution, Ministry of Education, School of Earth and Space Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5310-3498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zihao","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Tectonics, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"419","DOI":"10.1126\/science.189.4201.419","article-title":"Cenozoic Tectonics of Asia: Effects of a Continental Collision","volume":"189","author":"Molnar","year":"1975","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3425","DOI":"10.1029\/JB084iB07p03425","article-title":"Active faulting and cenozoic tectonics of the Tien Shan, Mongolia, and Baykal Regions","volume":"84","author":"Tapponnier","year":"1979","journal-title":"J.
