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 …

We compare the geologic histories, the deep structures, and the present‐day kinematics of
deformation of the Himalaya and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau with those of the Zagros and …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A practical classification of surface textures observed on detrital grains in sands and
sandstones is proposed, in order to enhance data reproducibility among operators and to …

Abstract The Bengal Basin is a collisional foreland basin in South Asia located at the
juncture of the Eurasian, Indian and Burmese Plates occupying Bangladesh and parts of the …

The groundwater of the Bengal basin, in Bangladesh and West Bengal state of India, is
found to be severely polluted by non-point sourced, geogenic arsenic (As), which has been …

Placing precise constraints on the timing of the India-Asia continental collision is essential to
understand the successive geological and geomorphological evolution of the orogenic belt …
