This paper introduces how crustal thickening controls the growth of the Himalaya by
summarizing the P‐T‐t evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core. The Himalayan …

The presence of hot, weak crust is a central component of recent hypotheses that seek to
explain the evolution of continent-continent collisions, and in particular may play an …

The channel flow model aims to explain features common to metamorphic hinterlands of
some collisional orogens, notably along the Himalaya-Tibet system. Channel flow describes …

The Himalayan leucogranites are critical for understanding the geodynamic process of
Himalayan orogenesis. In this article, we present petrological, geochronological and …

In order to understand how orogens “work,” a quantitative approach demonstrating proof of
concept is essential. Our goal is to reconcile the diverse array of tectonic features observed …

Crustal-scale channel flow numerical models support recent interpretations of Himalayan-
Tibetan tectonics proposing that gravitationally driven channel flows of low-viscosity, melt …

Many seismic and magnetotelluric experiments within Tibet provide proxies for lithospheric
temperature and lithology, and hence rheology. Most data have been collected between c …

Partial melting of deep continental crust may occur during either prograde heating or
decompression. Although the effect of temperature on crustal melting has been widely …

Rare granulitized eclogites exposed in the eastern Himalaya provide insight into conditions
and processes deep within the orogen. Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) …

Abstract U (-Th)-Pb dating of zircon, monazite, and xenotime from metamorphic and igneous
rocks at two outcrops along a north-south transect in the Mount Everest region of southern …
