The timing of initial collision between India and Asia has remained controversial for half a
century. This paper attempts to review this crucial and hotly debated argument, describing …

This paper reviews the spatial-temporal distribution, geological and geochemical features,
and geophysical context of diverse types of Cenozoic ore deposits formed during India …

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 …

Integration of lithostratigraphic, magmatic, and metamorphic data from the Lhasa–Qiangtang
collision zone in central Tibet (including the Bangong suture zone and adjacent regions of …

New geochronological and geochemical data on magmatic activity from the India-Asia
collision zone enables recognition of a distinct magmatic flare-up event that we ascribe to …

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 initial collision between Indian and Asian continents marked the starting point for
transformation of land-sea thermal contrast, uplift of the Tibet-Himalaya orogen, and climate …

Key in understanding the geodynamics governing subduction and orogeny is reconstructing
the paleogeography of 'Greater India', the Indian plate lithosphere that subducted since …

This paper introduces how crustal thickening controls the growth of the Himalaya by
summarizing the P‐T‐t evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core. The Himalayan …

The Himalayan range exposes a spectacular assemblage of metamorphic rocks from the
mid-and deep crust that have fostered numerous models of how the crust responds to …
