The architecture and mechanics of an orogen can be understood in terms of a system of
collages that are characterized by a complex assemblage of multiple components, but the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

Chemical geodynamics is an integrated discipline that studies the geochemical structure
and tectonic evolution of geospheres with the aim of linking tectonic processes to …

Abstract The Qilian Shan, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, has
experienced multiple episodes of tectonic deformation, including Neoproterozoic continental …

The Altaids is one of the largest accretionary collages in the world, and the tectonic styles of
the accretionary processes have been interpreted in several ways, including as an …

The elevation of the Tibetan plateau is a revolutionary event in the Earth history, which
resulted in change not only of Cenozoic regional and global climate but also of monsoon …
