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 …

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 …

Along the Ecuadorian margin, oblique subduction induces deformation of the overriding
continental plate. For the last 15 Ma, both exhumation and tectonic history of Ecuador …

Oblique plate convergence is common, but it is not clear how the obliquity is achieved by
continental fold‐and‐thrust belts. We address this problem in the Qilian Shan, northeastern …

Surface wave tomography shows that the central Tibetan Plateau (the Qiangtang block) is
characterized by S wave speeds as slow as 3.3 km/s at depths from 20–25 km to 45–50 km …

The Himalaya is the result of the on-going convergence and collision of India and Asia. The
internal configuration and processes that govern the rise of the Himalayan Mountains and …

In order to understand the potential controls on Asian tectonics during the subduction of the
Tethys and Indian lithospheres, we reconstruct the coupled subduction-continent …

Abstract The Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) in the Bhagirathi river section (India) on
fieldwork reveals two extensional ductile top-to-N/NE shear sub-zones—the 'South Tibetan …

Orogeny results from crustal thickening at active margins, and much progress has been
made on understanding the associated kinematics. However, the ultimate cause of orogeny …

The time and mechanism of crustal thickening and initial surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau
remain highly controversial. Here we report on zircon U‐Pb age, and mineral, element, and …
