Abstract The Keping-tage fold-and-thrust belt in southwest Tian Shan is seismically active, yet the most well-recorded earthquakes occurred south of the mountain front. The lack of large earthquakes beneath the fold-and-thrust belt thus hinders our understanding of the orogenic process to the north. The 2020 Mw 6.0 Jiashi earthquake is an important event with surface deformation in the fold-and-thrust belt well illuminated by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, providing an opportunity to study the present-day kinematics of the thrust front through the analysis of satellite measurements of surface deformations. Here, we employ the surface deformation and relocated aftershocks to investigate the fault-slip distribution associated to this event. Further added by an analysis of Coulomb stress changes, we derive a fault model involving slips on a shallow, low-angle (∼10°) north-dipping thrust fault as well as on a left-lateral tear fault and a high-angle south-dipping reverse fault in mid-crust. Aftershocks at depth reflect the basement-involved shortening activated by a thin-skinned thrust faulting event. In addition, this earthquake uplifted the southernmost mountain front with relatively low topography, indicating the basin-ward propagation of the southwest Tian Shan.
