The timing of initial collision between India and Asia has remained controversial for half a
century. This paper attempts to review this crucial and hotly debated argument, describing …

Reconstructing the evolution of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean (BNTO) plays an
indispensable role in understanding the linkage between Gondwana dispersion and Tibetan …

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 …

The collision of India with Asia had a profound influence on Cenozoic topography,
oceanography, climate, and faunal turnover. However, estimates of the time of the initial …

Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks derived from the southern Lhasa terrane, sitting depositionally
upon rocks of the northern Indian passive continental margin, provide an estimate of the age …

Detrital zircon data have recently become available from many different portions of the
Tibetan–Himalayan orogen. This study uses 13,441 new or existing U‐Pb ages of zircon …

A range of ages have been proposed for the timing of India‐Asia collision; the range to some
extent reflects different definitions of collision and methods used to date it. In this paper we …

Key in understanding the geodynamics governing subduction and orogeny is reconstructing
the paleogeography of 'Greater India', the Indian plate lithosphere that subducted since …

A strong 50–35 Ma decrease in India‐Asia convergence is generally ascribed to continent‐
continent collision. However, a convergence rate increase of similar magnitude occurred …

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 …
