The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is one of the largest orogens of the Earth, and its evolution has been discussed in numerous debates. Orogen has a long accretion history numbering several hundred million years, beginning with the late Mesoproterozoic and ending with a collision between Siberia, Tarim and Kazakhstan in the late Permian-early Triassic. Orogen consists of several different segments, among which the Tian Shan is one of the main belts and covers the vast territory of most countries of the Central and East Asia. The understanding of the geodynamic evolution of this huge orogen is hampered by the existence of various scientific approaches, logical difficulties, uneven distribution of high-qualitative field,\u00a0 laboratory data and a language barrier.<\/p>\n
The field expedition and the seminars in the Tian-Shan are the important steps in understanding, discussing and agreeing on various opinions and interpretations of the Tien Shan orogen, which will undoubtedly lead to improved cooperation between scientists from the Central Asian countries, China, Russia, Europe and other countries.
\nTian-Shan, are an excellent natural testing ground for numerous tectonic interpretations and hypotheses. Here you can try to find out the nature, dynamics, origin and evolution of the lithosphere, which can create prerequisites for international multidisciplinary geophysical projects, as well as carry out research not only in geochemistry, petrology and structural geology, but also other integrated studies to understand evolution and geology earth crust of the Tien Shan.<\/p>\n
Field excursions<\/strong><\/p>\n During geoexpedition we will get acquainted with the lithological and structural-tectonic complexes of the Tien Shan. On the route of the expedition we will see geological outcrops characterizing the following geological complexes: “… The modern relief of the Tien Shan is formed as a result of neotectonic movements.\u00a0 In its formation, endogenous and exogenous processes were taken. These same agents led to the destruction of the ancient denudation surface, which was formed from the late Paleozoic to Oligocene, inclusive. Neotectonic movements manifested cyclically: their intensification was replaced by relatively quiet tectonic regimes – a decrease in their intensity. In the relief, this change of “quiet” and intensive tectonic movements led to the formation of the stratification of the relief of the mountainous country – the “stratification” of the relief. Within a single tier of relief there are several erosion-denudation steps … “<\/em><\/p>\n Route of the expedition<\/strong> During the route, the entire geological section will be shown, including the Lower Precambrian crystalline basement, the cover complexes and rifting of the Upper Proterozoic-Lower Paleozoic of the North Tien Shan paleo continental block, ocean bottom complexes and festoon islands associated with the Ishim-Naryn pale oceanic structures.<\/p>\n Further, in places of geological observations, riftogenic sections of the Upper Proterozoic and complexes of the passive continental margins of the Paleozoic of the Middle Tien Shan will be shown. In the Southern Tien Shan, the routes cover the Paleozoic ophiolite of the Turkestan paleo ocean and the carbonate platform of the Alai-Ulan paleo continental block. The places of manifestation of magmatism of Paleogene hot spots and the outputs of orogenic complexes associated with the newest mountain-forming processes will be demonstrated.<\/p>\n Also, during the expedition, modern morphostructural elements that participate in the structure of intermountain depressions and mountain ranges will be shown. During the route, the results of seismic events and characterizing them will be demonstrated morphostructures expressed in modern relief. Modern landscapes will be shown as a result of tectonic processes.<\/p>\n The excursion is designed for 14 days<\/strong>. During the expedition three field seminars are planned.

Such terraces are developed in the foothills of the foothills of the Kochkor, Jumgal, Alabuga-Naryn, Atbashin and other basins at various heights. In some places, the accumulative cover is destroyed, causing the surface of the terrace to become erosive. Due to the intensive dismemberment of the Middle Quaternary surface by the channels of permanent and temporary flows, the relief has a typical wavy appearance. Stop 20.<\/strong> Flat plains and plumes of the Upper Quaternary age are widely developed and well preserved.\u00a0All this testifies to the latest tectonic vertical movements.\u00a0In the Inner Tian-Shan, this morphostructural complex is combined with unevenly distributed elevations of the foothills, the remnants forming a relief of the “badland” type. Deep river valleys in turn formed widely developed socle terraces. Typical areas of distribution of this relief are the valleys of the Alabuga, Kochkor and Middle Naryn basins.\u00a0Accommodation in the hotel of the Kazarman village.<\/p>\n After breakfast, the route of the expedition continues to Naryn city.
