The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

This paper reviews the spatial-temporal distribution, geological and geochemical features,
and geophysical context of diverse types of Cenozoic ore deposits formed during India …

Abstract The East Asian continent records a complex geologic and tectonic history that
involved the amalgamation of several small-to medium-sized blocks from Laurasia or …

Abstract The India-Asia collision is an outstanding smoking gun in the study of continental
collision dynamics. How and when the continental collision occurred remains a long …

Views differ on the uplift history of the SE Tibetan Plateau and causal geodynamic
mechanisms, yet reliable age-constrained paleoaltimetry in this region could test growth …

Abstract The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) sensu lato (sl) houses an exceptional species
diversity in Asia. To develop a comprehensive understanding of species diversity in this …

The biodiversity of the Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains and Tibet, here collectively termed
the Tibetan Region, is exceptional in a global context. To contextualize and understand the …

Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with
different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …
