For quartz-rich tectonites two types of deformation thermometer are currently commonly
employed: 1) The quartz c-axis fabric opening-angle thermometer that provides an estimate …

The largest crystalline unit representing the mid-crust in the Himalayan belt is the Greater
Himalayan Sequence (GHS) which stretches all over the 2400 km of length of the belt. The …

The core of the Greater Himalayan Sequence in the Mugu-Karnali area (Western Nepal) is
affected by a thick shear zone with development of nearly 4 km of mylonites (Mangri shear …

The presence of hot, weak crust is a central component of recent hypotheses that seek to
explain the evolution of continent-continent collisions, and in particular may play an …

Out-of-sequence deformation in the Himalaya has been caused mainly by thrusting. Out-of-
sequence thrusts, usually north-to NE-dip** foreshear planes, occur inside the Sub …

In the Himalayan region of Sikkim, the well-developed inverted metamorphic sequence of
the Main Central Thrust (MCT) zone is folded, thus exposing several transects through the …

Abstract The Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS) is one of the major tectonic units of the
Himalaya running for more than 2400 km along-strike. It has been considered as a coherent …

Abstract The Namche Barwa Complex exposed in the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis, south
Tibet, underwent high-pressure (HP) and high-temperature (HT) granulite-facies …

The occurrence of thrust-sense tectonometamorphic discontinuities within the exhumed
Himalayan metamorphic core can be explained as part of the Main Central thrust system …

Abstract Closure of the Neotethys Ocean and high-angle continent-continent collision
between India and Asia after about 55 Ma resulted in low-angle subduction of the Indian …
