The timing of the initial India–Asia collision and the mechanisms that led to the eventual
formation of the high (> 5 km) Tibetan Plateau remain enigmatic. In this Review, we describe …

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 …

The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

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 …

This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen
from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …

Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates produced the archetypical
continental collision zone comprising the Himalaya mountain belt and the Tibetan Plateau …

Paleoelevation reconstruction using oxygen isotopes is making a significant contribution to
understanding the Cenozoic uplift of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. This paper …

The initial collision between Indian and Asian continents marked the starting point for
transformation of land-sea thermal contrast, uplift of the Tibet-Himalaya orogen, and climate …

The Gangdese belt is dominantly composed of igneous rocks that formed during the
northward subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the Lhasa terrane and …

Key in understanding the geodynamics governing subduction and orogeny is reconstructing
the paleogeography of 'Greater India', the Indian plate lithosphere that subducted since …
