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 …

Present-day Asia comprises a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks, derived from the
Indian–west Australian margin of eastern Gondwana, and subduction related volcanic arcs …

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 …

Four Tethyan ocean basins are recognised in Asia, the Proto-Tethys (Late Proterozoic-
Silurian), Palaeo-Tethys (Middle Devonian-Late Triassic), Meso-Tethys (Middle Permian …

Different hypotheses have been proposed for the origin and pre-Cenozoic evolution of the
Tibetan Plateau as a result of several collision events between a series of Gondwana …

Cenozoic magmatism on the Tibetan plateau shows systematic variations in space and time
that must be considered in models concerning Tibetan tectonic evolution. After the India …

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, composed of several continental slivers within the eastern
Tethyan domain, is one of the pivotal sites to examine to better understand the theory of …

Detrital zircon data have recently become available from many different portions of the
Tibetan–Himalayan orogen. This study uses 13,441 new or existing U‐Pb ages of zircon …

The active left-slip Altyn Tagh fault defines the northern edge of the Tibetan plateau. To
determine its deformation history we conducted integrated research on Cenozoic …

The geologic map pattern of the Qiangtang terrane in central Tibet defines a> 600-km-long
