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 …

Abstract Traversing the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the Sichuan–Tibet Railway is by far the
most difficult railway project in the world. The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau features the most …

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 …

Surface deformation in continental interiors is typically coupled to processes at depth.
However, in the Sichuan basin, east of the Tibetan Plateau, recent seismic data detect …

The onset of mountain building along margins of the Tibetan Plateau provides a key
constraint on the processes by which the high topography in Eurasia formed. Although …

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 …

The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …
