		Northern Tien Shan includes the mountains that extend to the north of Lake Issyk Kul, that is, the Zaaliyskiy Alatau and Kungey Alatau ranges.
		This is the most fascinating area in Tien Shan, a complicated interweaving of mountain chains that rise up south and east of Issyk Kul lake, with the highest peaks in the entire mountain system that are a must for international mountain climbing.

		The Tien Shan mountains are a result of the the eastern movement of China and Southeast Asia due to the compressive force of the collision, which causes movement along strike-slip faults and the activation of reverse faults in the interior of Asia.
		The horses commonly found in the Tien Shan mountains and steppes are the Akhal Teke of Turkmenistan, a breed that has developed into the modern Arabian breed, the Prezhevalsk, the only remaining breed of truly wild horses in the entire world, and the Kyrgyz pony.

	Shear wave splitting beneath the central Tien Shan and tectonic implications
		Shear-wave splitting analyses were performed at 30 seismic stations in the central Tien Shan and its vicinity.
		Fast orientation at most of the stations on the Tien Shan range is ENE-WSW, parallel to the strike of the Tien Shan.
		The NNE-SSW orientation, which coincides with the surface velocity of the central Tien Shan, can be best explained by shear between the lithosphere and asthenosphere on a regional scale rather than small-scale convection as proposed in previous studies.

		The Tien Shan are at a similar latitude to the Pyrenees, so the peaks feel much higher than those of a similar altitude in the Himalaya or Andes (where the level of glaciation is up to 1000m higher).
		An intricate irrigation system fed by rivers from the Tien Shan has produced lush gardens and made the area famous for friuts like pomegranate, melons and dozens of different varieties of grapes.

		We propose a multidisciplinary investigation of the deep structure and kinematics of deformation of the Tien Shan, the largest and most active intracontinental range in the world.
		To determine the deep structure, we plan to use seismology, magnetotellurics, and gravity anomalies to define and quantify lateral heterogeneity in order to test various hypotheses for dynamic processes in the crust and mantle responsible for the lateral heterogeneity.
		This project is multidisciplinary, with 6 separate disciplines of the earth sciences; multi-institutional, with 9 institutions in the USA participating; and multinational, with involvement of scientists from 6 nations (China, France, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the USA).
