Timing and mechanisms of Tibetan Plateau uplift
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 …

Tibetan tectonic evolution inferred from spatial and temporal variations in post-collisional magmatism
Cenozoic magmatism on the Tibetan plateau shows systematic variations in space and time
that must be considered in models concerning Tibetan tectonic evolution. After the India …

[PDF][PDF] Mesozoic–Cenozoic geological evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and working tectonic hypotheses
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 …

Uplift-driven diversification in the Hengduan Mountains, a temperate biodiversity hotspot
A common hypothesis for the rich biodiversity found in mountains is uplift-driven
diversification—that orogeny creates conditions favoring rapid in situ speciation of resident …

A new biologic paleoaltimetry indicating Late Miocene rapid uplift of northern Tibet Plateau
The uplift of the Tibet Plateau (TP) during the Miocene is crucial to understanding the
evolution of Asian monsoon regimes and alpine biodiversity. However, the northern Tibet …

Adakites from continental collision zones: melting of thickened lower crust beneath southern Tibet
SL Chung, D Liu, J Ji, MF Chu, HY Lee… - …, 2003 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Adakites are geochemically distinct intermediate to felsic lavas found exclusively in
subduction zones. Here we report the first example of such magmas from southern Tibet in …
