A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

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 …

Ecologist Madhav Gadgil and historian Ramachandra Guha offer fresh perspectives both on
the ecological history of India and on theoretical issues of interest to environmental …

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 …

The northernmost exposures of sub-Himalayan Cenozoic strata in the Hazara–Kashmir
syntaxial region of north Pakistan comprises the Paleocene–Eocene marine strata in the …

The mid-Miocene Gangdese orogenic belt in southern Tibet contains porphyry Cu deposits
that developed after the Indian–Asian continental collision in the early Cenozoic. Field work …

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 …

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 …

Indian plate rocks in the central Himalaya have traditionally been divided into orogen‐
parallel, fault‐bound tectonostratigraphic zones. A straightforward westward extrapolation of …

Field map**, geochronological analyses, and cross section construction reveal a
protracted deformation history and a minimum of 61 km of Cenozoic NE-SW shortening (in …
