Professors Douglas Burbank (UCSB) and Eric Kirby (Pennsylvania State University) conduct fieldwork on the active Kunlun fault that cuts across Buddhist Tibet near the Yellow River. Strike-slip displacement on the Kunlun fault terminates near the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (see Kirby et al., Tectonics, 2007) in an area where the Yellow River is rapidly incising headward (see Harkins et al., JGR, 2007).
