Despite a long research history over the past 150 years, the geometry, kinematics, and
dynamic evolution of the Himalayan orogen remain poorly understood. This is mainly due to …

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
