Middle to late Eocene exhumation of the Greater Himalayan Sequence in the Central Himalayas: Progressive accretion from the Indian plate
We investigated a contractional shear zone located in central Nepal, known as Kalopani
shear zone. This high-temperature shear zone triggered the early exhumation of the …

Spatial and temporal evolution of tectonometamorphic discontinuities in the central Himalaya: Constraints from P–T paths and geochronology
Recent studies evoke dispute whether the Greater Himalayan Crystalline Complex (GHC)
was exhumed during more than one phase. This contribution investigates the timing of …

Pressure‐temperature‐deformation‐time constraints on the South Tibetan Detachment System in the Garhwal Himalaya (NW India)
A peculiar feature of the Himalaya is the occurrence of a system of low‐angle normal faults
and shear zones, the South Tibetan Detachment System (STDS), at the mountain crests. The …

Structural evolution, metamorphism and melting in the Greater Himalayan Sequence in central-western Nepal
Joining geological map**, structural analysis, petrology and geochronology allowed the
internal architecture of the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS) to be unraveled. Several top …
