During continent–continent collision, does the downgoing continental plate underplate far
inboard of the collisional boundary or does it subduct steeply into the mantle, and how is this …

What happened to the Indian mantle lithosphere (IML) during the Indian–Eurasian collision
and what role it has played on the plateau growth are fundamental questions that remain …

The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates formed the 2500 km long Himalayan
orogenic belt. At 22: 09 on August 15, 1950, Bei**g time, an MS 8.6 earthquake occurred in …

Obtaining a precise velocity field of the Earth's surface is critical for probing Earth's tectonic
movements. In this contribution we construct a precise vertical velocity field with high-spatial …

This chapter summarizes the available stratigraphic, petrographical and mineralogical
evidence from sediments and sedimentary rocks on the evolution of the Himalayan belt and …

Abstract Nazca subduction beneath South America is one of our best modern examples of
long‐lived ocean‐continent subduction on the planet, serving as a foundation for our …

Abundant mafic enclaves are enclosed within the Quxu batholith in the eastern Gangdese
magmatic belt, southern Tibet. This study focuses on the petrogenesis and affinity of these …

In and around the Eastern Himalaya Syntaxis (EHS), the metamorphic complex and its
structural boundaries are key tectonics to investigate the kinematics and thermal evolution of …

The effective elastic thickness (T e) of the lithosphere reflects the long-term flexural strength
and provides mechanical information about the evolution and deformation of the lithosphere …

Abstract The India-Asia collision zone is believed to play a central role in Earth's geological
carbon budget. The processes controlling soil CO 2 flux and mechanism at this continental …
