We studied the formation of the Himalayan mountain range and the Tibetan Plateau by
investigating their lithospheric structure. Using an 800-kilometer-long, densely spaced …

The lesser and greater Himalayan sequences (LH and GH) in Sikkim have been studied in
detail recently. The LH consists mainly of pelitic lithologies with detrital zircon ages> 1800 …

The 2015 Gorkha earthquake sequence provides an outstanding opportunity to better
characterize the geometry of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT). To overcome limitations due …

Magnetotelluric (MT) measurements along a profile cutting across the Garhwal Himalaya of
India are inverted to obtain 2-D electrical resistivity structures of the Himalayan wedge and …

Continent–continent collisions are an important tectonic process and have played a
fundamental role in the evolution of the modern continents. A combination of geological and …

Mitigation of geological hazards through science and engineering applications is one of the
most effective ways to reduce their impact on human life and local infrastructure. It involves …

Only sparse deep geophysical data have been obtained in the region to the north of the
Eastern Kunlun Fault (EKLF) in the Tibetan Plateau, which leads to inconsistent and …

This paper is concerned with the spatial variation of the elastic thickness (T e) in the
Himalayan–Tibetan orogen and its implications for the understanding of lithospheric …

The contact area between the West Qinling orogen zone and North-South seismic tectonic
zone (31 N-36 N; 104 E-108 E) represents a special conjunction between the large-scale …

In the foreland-side of an orogen, thrust-related structures develop that verge towards the
foreland (fore-thrusts). Although much less abundant, structures with opposite vergence (ie …
