metadata.value: The reinterpretation of the Paleozoic Southern Tian-Shan (STS) orogen tectonics took place
  from the 1950s to the 1980s and was connected with the research activity of G. S. Porshniakov
  (1918–1993), professor of Leningrad University, as well as that of his colleagues and opponents.
  The main factors of this reinterpretation were i) extensive field investigations, including
  geological mapping and paleontological dating, and especially engaging young scientists to
  the study; ii) development of scientific schools and free competition between them; iii) welltimed
  change and evaluation of theoretic models while using global experience. G. S. Porshniakov
  gave a talk to present his own new tectonic model for the STS where the space shortening
  and top-to-the-south thrust movement were shown as the leading factor. In modern terms,
  it means the collision of the ancient Kazakhstan, Tarim and Gissar continents. The model
  emerged as a result of detailed paleontological dating, which showed different lithology of
  coeval formations. The thrust model by Porshniakov was defended in a controversy with the
  colleagues who insisted on the earlier “deep faults” ideas. It was then checked and verified
  by geological mapping of the vast territory from the Kyzylkum in the west up to Chinese
  Xinjiang. After some actualistic modernization, this conception agrees with new ideas in the
  Paleozoic history of the STS, such as ocean and continental margins development, internal
  arcs, intraplate (plum) magmatism and disposal of post-collisional granite intrusions.
