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 …

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 …

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 …

Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks derived from the southern Lhasa terrane, sitting depositionally
upon rocks of the northern Indian passive continental margin, provide an estimate of the age …

The initial collision between Indian and Asian continents marked the starting point for
transformation of land-sea thermal contrast, uplift of the Tibet-Himalaya orogen, and climate …

The Himalayan orogeny, a result of the collision of India and Eurasia, provides direct
evidence of strain accommodation and large-scale rheological behavior of the continental …

The time of initial collision between India and Asia has been extremely controversial despite
the fact that it is vital to constraining the orogenesis and subsequent evolution of the …

The Himalayan orogen is a type example of continent–continent collision. Knowledge of the
timing of India–Asia collision is critical to the calculation of the amount of convergence that …

Despite several decades of investigations, inferences on the timing and nature of collisions
along the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Eurasian margin remain controversial. We assimilate …

The Lhasa terrane in southern Tibet is composed of Precambrian crystalline basement,
Paleozoic to Mesozoic sedimentary strata and Paleozoic to Cenozoic magmatic rocks. This …
