Crust-Mantle Thermal Structure and Tectonothermal Evolution of the Tibetan Plateau is written by Xianjie Shen and published by VSP. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9067642231 (ISBN 10) and 9789067642231 (ISBN 13).

This monograph deals with systematic studies of all relevant thermal aspects of the Tibetan Plateau, including terrestrial heat flow measures, distribution pattern of observed heat flow along a N-S profile, crust-mantle thermal structure, and North-Middle-South triple heterogeneity across the whole plateau. Main emphasis has been put on the close correlation between thermal and comprehensive geophysical fields and the intrinsic genetic linkage between tectonic deformation of terranes and thereby induced deep-seated and superficial theral activities and responses. This new approach, in combination with available geoscientific research results, has led to a synthetic idea of integrated tectonothermal evolution of the Tibetan Plateau.
