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 …

Orogeny, the process by which the earth's prominent mountain ranges are constructed, has
been a central topic of interest in the earth sciences since at least the end of the 18th …

The Tibetan Plateau, between the Kunlun Shan and the Himalayas, consists of terranes
accreted successively to Eurasia. The northernmost, the Songban Ganzi Terrane, was …

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 …

New structural, petrographic, and 40Ar/39Ar data constrain the kinematics of the ASRR
(Ailao Shan‐Red River shear zone). In the XueLong Shan (XLS), geochronological data …

Recent geological and geophysical data from southern Tibet allow refinement of models for
the closing of southern (Neo-) Tethys and formation of the Himalaya. Shelf sediments of the …

A tectonic model is proposed for the Phanerozoic evolution of eastern Asia. The palinspastic
implications of this model are shown in a series of maps indicating probable structural and …

On the basis of a synthesis of tectonic data available on the India‐Asia collision, we present
a first attempt to reconstruct the evolution of the collision zone. Assuming that the …

Regional map**, stratigraphic study, and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology provide the basis for
an incremental restoration of the Himalayan fold‐thrust belt in western Nepal …

In the Shiquanhe area of far‐western Tibet, mid‐Cretaceous strata lie unconformable on
ophiolitic melange and Jurassic flysch associated with the Bangong‐Nujiang suture zone …
