The timing of the initial India–Asia collision and the mechanisms that led to the eventual
formation of the high (> 5 km) Tibetan Plateau remain enigmatic. In this Review, we describe …

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 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 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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Knowledge of the topographic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau is essential for
understanding its construction and its influences on climate, environment, and biodiversity …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

A geological and geochronologic investigation of the Nima area along the Jurassic–Early
Cretaceous Bangong suture of central Tibet (∼ 32° N,∼ 87° E) provides well-dated records …
