Outward-growth of the Tibetan Plateau during the Cenozoic: A review
The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

Geologic evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen
A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

Two-phase growth of high topography in eastern Tibet during the Cenozoic
High topography in eastern Tibet is thought to have formed when deep crust beneath the
central Tibetan Plateau flowed towards the plateau margin, causing crustal thickening and …

Nature and significance of the Early Cretaceous giant igneous event in eastern China
Mesozoic igneous rocks are widespread throughout eastern China, but precise
geochronological constraints were previously lacking. Thirty-two samples, including dolerite …

The tectonic evolution of the Songpan-Garzê (North Tibet) and adjacent areas from Proterozoic to Present: A synthesis
The Triassic orogeny in North Tibet results from interactions between the South China, North
China and Qiangtang (North Tibet) blocks during the closure of the Paleotethys ocean. It is …

Active tectonics of the Beichuan and Pengguan faults at the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau
The steep, high‐relief eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau has undergone rapid Cenozoic
