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 …

This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen
from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …

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 …

Jiama is a giant skarn-porphyry deposit in southern Tibet, southwestern China. It is the
largest Cu (~ 7.4 Mt), second largest Au (~ 208 t), and fourth largest Mo (~ 0.62 Mt) skarn …

A compilation of 290 zircon U–Pb ages of intrusive rocks indicates that the Gangdese
Batholith in southern Tibet was emplaced from c. 210 Ma to c. 10 Ma. Two intense magmatic …

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 …

The Lhasa Terrane in southern Tibet has long been accepted as the last geological block
accreted to Eurasia before its collision with the northward drifting Indian continent in the …

The surface uplift of mountain belts is in large part controlled by the effects of crustal
thickening and mantle dynamic processes (eg, lithospheric delamination or slab breakoff) …

Within the Himalayan collisional belt, granotoids occur along two sub-parallel belts, the
Northern Himalayan Gneiss Domes (NHGD) and the High Himalayan Crystalline Series …

The Gangdese belt is dominantly composed of igneous rocks that formed during the
northward subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the Lhasa terrane and …
