International audience To better constrain the ongoing rates of deformation in northern Tibet, the ages of fluvial and glacial geomorphic markers left-laterally displaced by the Altyn Tagh Fault have been determined by radiocarbon and 10 Be- 26 Al cosmic ray exposure dating. Two sites were investiga...
