Within convergent orogenic belts, significant amounts of                   synchronous extension and compression in the same direction are not             generally observed.  However, it has been recently recognized that              East-West striking, gently north-dipping normal faults of regional              extent exist in and north of the High Himalayas and in Ladakh.  These           are forming at the same time the entire region is undergoing                    compression.  This project is continuation of a study to document these         faults by mapping and subsequent analysis of timing, sense of motion            and displacement.  Results are expected to provide data necessary to            interpret and construct dynamic models of the role of normal faults in          continental collision tectonic situations.  This work is cooperative            with the Chengdu Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources and the             Ministry of Geology in Beijing.
