The longest voyage: Tectonic, magmatic, and paleoclimatic evolution of the Indian plate during its northward flight from Gondwana to Asia
The tectonic evolution of the Indian plate, which started in Late Jurassic about 167million
years ago (~ 167Ma) with the breakup of Gondwana, presents an exceptional and intricate …

Timing of glaciation during the last glacial cycle: evaluating the concept of a global 'Last Glacial Maximum'(LGM)
It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

Accelerated mass loss of Himalayan glaciers since the Little Ice Age
Himalayan glaciers are undergoing rapid mass loss but rates of contemporary change lack
long-term (centennial-scale) context. Here, we reconstruct the extent and surfaces of 14,798 …

Mid-latitude westerlies as a driver of glacier variability in monsoonal High Asia
Abstract Glaciers in High Asia store large amounts of water and are affected by climate
change. Efforts to determine decadal-scale glacier change are therefore increasing …

Nature and timing of Quaternary glaciation in the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen
Much effort has been made in recent years to define the timing and extent of Quaternary
glaciation throughout the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen. These studies are challenging …

A note on the extent of glaciation throughout the Himalaya during the global Last Glacial Maximum
Quantitative chronologies for the impressive glacial successions that occur throughout the
Himalaya have, until recently, been almost totally lacking. Within the last decade two new …
