Research topics from publications: Segmented Thrust Faulting: Example From the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau. Representative work: Abstract Seismogenic faults are commonly composed of a series of segments, revealed by geometric barriers and along‐strike gradients in fault activity. At the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, the Minle‐Damaying Fault (MDF), bounding a portion of the eastern Qilian Shan, illustrates segmented paleoseismic behavior of a major seismogenic reverse fault. Field surveys, trench excavations, and drone‐surveyed topography along the MDF reveal scarps with diverse cumulative displacements. Multiple events, with timing constrained by radiocarbon dating, are identified by both trench exposures and analysis of deformed landforms. Both individual coseismic displacements and slip rates taper tow
