We investigate kinematic evolutionary paths of seventeen major shear zones associated
with internal thrust faults from the Himalayan, Appalachian, Caledonian, Zagros, Alpine, and …

Existing structural models of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt in Kumaun, northwest India, are
based on a tectono-stratigraphy that assigns different stratigraphy to the Ramgarh, Berinag …

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 …

Fractures at different scales are an integral component of shallow crustal deformation
associated with the progressive evolution of a fold-thrust belt (FTB). We characterize the …

We investigate the relationships among magnetic, mylonitic and strain fabrics from the
Pelling-Munsiari thrust (PT), a major shear zone in the Sikkim Himalaya, that records varying …

Abstract The Sikkim Lesser Himalayan fold thrust belt records along-strike structural
variations over∼ 15 km. The lower Lesser Himalayan (Rangit) duplex (LHD) is blind, and …

A relationship between crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) and strain geometry
(strain-ellipsoid shape) is often assumed, but not well documented. In this work, we use the …

Shortening estimates from regional balanced cross‐sections remain lower than the
predicted shortening from paleomagnetism and area‐balancing methods in the Himalaya …

We compare and contrast the structural evolution of two successive internal thrusts, the Main
Central thrust (MCT) and the Pelling-Munsiari thrust (PT), from the crystalline core of the …

The Munsiari thrust (MT) was first recognized in northwest India within the Paleoproterozoic
Lesser Himalayan rocks, but debate persists over its distinct identity and orogen-scale …
