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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks derived from the southern Lhasa terrane, sitting depositionally
upon rocks of the northern Indian passive continental margin, provide an estimate of the age …

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 …

Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates produced the archetypical
continental collision zone comprising the Himalaya mountain belt and the Tibetan Plateau …

A range of ages have been proposed for the timing of India‐Asia collision; the range to some
extent reflects different definitions of collision and methods used to date it. In this paper we …

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

The Himalayan orogeny, a result of the collision of India and Eurasia, provides direct
evidence of strain accommodation and large-scale rheological behavior of the continental …
