A bound on the viscosity of the Tibetan crust from the horizontality of palaeolake shorelines
Palaeoshorelines around four large lakes in central Tibet record a latest-Pleistocene-to-Holocene high stand during which the lakes were filled 150-200 m more deeply than they are at present. GPS measurements of shoreline elevations around Zhari Namtso show that they are horizontal to within ±2 m at...
