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 …

Despite a long research history over the past 150 years, the geometry, kinematics, and
dynamic evolution of the Himalayan orogen remain poorly understood. This is mainly due to …

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 …

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 …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

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 …

Abstract The Himalaya and Tibet provide an unparalleled opportunity to examine the
complex ways in which continents respond to collisional orogenesis. This paper is an …

Long-standing problems in the geological evolution of the Tibetan–Himalayan orogen
include where the India–Asia convergence was accommodated and how the plateau grew …

Timing of the collision between India and Asia is the key boundary condition in all models for
the evolution of the Himalaya‐Tibetan orogenic system. Thus it profoundly affects the …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …
