The timing of initial collision between India and Asia has remained controversial for half a
century. This paper attempts to review this crucial and hotly debated argument, describing …

As the largest depression in the Tibetan plateau, the Qaidam basin preserves over 10 km
thick of Cenozoic sediments. Those sediments represent a unique archive of the evolution of …

Convergence between the Indian and Asian plates has reshaped large parts of Asia,
changing regional climate and biodiversity, yet geodynamic models fundamentally diverge …

Biodiversity is unevenly distributed on Earth and hotspots of biodiversity are often
associated with areas that have undergone orogenic activity during recent geological history …

The Sanjiang region in SE Tibet Plateau, and the western Yunnan region in southwestern
China constitute a collage of Gondwana-derived micro-continental blocks and arc terranes …

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 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 …

Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two
emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet …

Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates produced the archetypical
continental collision zone comprising the Himalaya mountain belt and the Tibetan Plateau …

A range of ages have been proposed for the timing of India‐Asia collision; the range to some
extent reflects different definitions of collision and methods used to date it. In this paper we …
