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 …

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 …

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 …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

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 …

The petrology and timing of crustal melting has been investigated in the migmatites of the
Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) exposed in Sikkim, India. The metapelites underwent …

Although most data suggest that the India–Eurasia continental collision began∼ 45–55 Myr
ago, the architecture of the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen is dominated by deformational …

SHRIMP U–Pb dating of zircons from a peralkaline S-type Lesser Himalayan granite from
the Kathmandu region, Nepal indicate an age of emplacement of 475 Ma. The granites …

Late Oligocene–Miocene leucogranites within southern Tibet form part of an extensive
intrusive igneous province within the Himalayan orogen. The main rock types are tourmaline …
