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 …

In this study, we integrate bedrock datasets, observations of subducted slabs in the mantle,
and plate kinematic constraints to constrain models for the India-Asia collision and the …

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 …

New geochronological and geochemical data on magmatic activity from the India-Asia
collision zone enables recognition of a distinct magmatic flare-up event that we ascribe to …

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 compilation of 290 zircon U–Pb ages of intrusive rocks indicates that the Gangdese
Batholith in southern Tibet was emplaced from c. 210 Ma to c. 10 Ma. Two intense magmatic …

Key in understanding the geodynamics governing subduction and orogeny is reconstructing
the paleogeography of 'Greater India', the Indian plate lithosphere that subducted since …

Paleomagnetic data have long been used to hypothesize that the Cenozoic extrusion of the
Indochina Block along the left-lateral Ailao Shan-Red River fault, as a result of the India-Asia …

The timing of the India‐Asia collision onset, essential to understanding the evolution of the
Himalayan‐Tibetan orogen, has been widely investigated through multidisciplinary …

Large-scale helium accumulations are rarely reported in tectonically active continental
subduction zones. This study shows geochemical variations in helium and other volatiles (N …
