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 …

A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

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 …

Using the measurements of 750 GPS stations around the Tibetan Plateau for over 10 years
since 1999, we derived a high‐resolution 3‐D velocity field for the present‐day crustal …

Two end member models of how the high elevations in Tibet formed are (i) continuous
thickening and widespread viscous flow of the crust and mantle of the entire plateau and (ii) …

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 …

Abstract The Himalaya and Tibet provide an unparalleled opportunity to examine the
complex ways in which continents respond to collisional orogenesis. This paper is an …

Long-standing problems in the geological evolution of the Tibetan–Himalayan orogen
include where the India–Asia convergence was accommodated and how the plateau grew …

We use observations of surface faulting, well-constrained earthquake focal mechanisms and
centroid depths, and velocity structure determined by surface wave propagation and …

Ultrapotassic lavas having distinct geochemical compositions (K2O/Na2O> 2, K2O> 3%, and
MgO> 3%) are common and widespread on the Tibet Plateau, where they are closely linked …
