Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

A new reconstruction of Alpine Tethys combines plate-kinematic modelling with a wealth of
geological data and seismic tomography to shed light on its evolution, from sea-floor …

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 …

This paper presents a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen
within the frame of the Arabia–Eurasia collision. The Zagros orogen and the Iranian plateau …

The Lhasa Terrane in southern Tibet has long been accepted as the last geological block
accreted to Eurasia before its collision with the northward drifting Indian continent in the …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

The so-calledmesothermal'gold deposits are associated with regionally metamorphosed
terranes of all ages. Ores were formed during compressional to transpressional deformation …

We present a model proposing that oceanic lithosphere detaches from continental
lithosphere during continental collision (slab breakoff), allowing an explanation of syn-to …

The Pannonian basin is an integral part of the convergence zone between the Eurasian and
Nubian plates characterized by active subductions of oceanic and continental plates, and …
