Abstract: Describes a series of numerical geodynamics experiments that constrain the effective lithospheric strength parameters of the Tarim Basin and the Tian Shan in central Asia, in the context of a thin viscous sheet model. Constrains from topography and seismology; Numerical experiments; Weak Rian Shan experiments; String Tarim Basin experiment; Weak Tian Shan and Strong Tarim Basin.
