The vast eastern-Tethyan oceanic domain that throughout the Mesozoic extended between
Gondwana and Eurasia was a puzzle of larger and smaller microcontinents separated by …

Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

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 …

Reconstructing the Paleogene topography and climate of central Tibet informs
understanding of collisional tectonic mechanisms and their links to climate and biodiversity …

Integration of lithostratigraphic, magmatic, and metamorphic data from the Lhasa–Qiangtang
collision zone in central Tibet (including the Bangong suture zone and adjacent regions of …

The Late Paleogene surface height and paleoenvironment for the core area of the Qinghai-
Tibetan Plateau (QTP) remain critically unresolved. Here, we report the discovery of the …

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 …

Different hypotheses have been proposed for the origin and pre-Cenozoic evolution of the
Tibetan Plateau as a result of several collision events between a series of Gondwana …

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, composed of several continental slivers within the eastern
Tethyan domain, is one of the pivotal sites to examine to better understand the theory of …

The Lhasa Terrane in southern Tibet has long been accepted as the last geological block
accreted to Eurasia before its collision with the northward drifting Indian continent in the …
