Convective removal of lower lithosphere beneath the Tibetan Plateau can account for a
rapid increase in the mean elevation of the Tibetan Plateau of 1000 m or more in a few …

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 …

Abstract Recent interpretations of Himalayan–Tibetan tectonics have proposed that channel
flow in the middle to lower crust can explain outward growth of the Tibetan plateau,,, and that …

This book is about the most complete work on the subject of clay minerals thus far
conceived. Its scope is one of basics to general principles to use in real geologic situations …

Although most data suggest that the India–Eurasia continental collision began∼ 45–55 Myr
ago, the architecture of the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen is dominated by deformational …

New Sr and C isotopic data, both obtained on the same samples of marine carbonates,
provide a relatively detailed record of isotopic variation in seawater through the latest …

The radiogenic isotope composition of dissolved trace metals in the ocean represents a set
of relatively new and not yet fully exploited tracers with a large potential for oceanographic …

Abstract The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal
continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic …

The sediment archive, of material eroded from an active tectonic region and stored in
adjacent basins, can provide a valuable record of hinterland tectonism especially when …

Sediments carried in suspension represent a fundamental part of fluvial transport.
Nonetheless, largely because of technical problems, they have been hitherto widely …
