A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

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 …

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

Abstract The Qilian Shan, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, has
experienced multiple episodes of tectonic deformation, including Neoproterozoic continental …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

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 …

The Red River Fault zone (RRF) is the major geological discontinuity that separates South
China from Indochina. Today it corresponds to a great right-lateral fault, following for over …

Porphyry deposits arguably represent the most economically important class of nonferrous
metallic mineral resources. These magmatic-hydrothermal deposits are characterized by …

Long-standing problems in the geological evolution of the Tibetan–Himalayan orogen
include where the India–Asia convergence was accommodated and how the plateau grew …

The active left-slip Altyn Tagh fault defines the northern edge of the Tibetan plateau. To
determine its deformation history we conducted integrated research on Cenozoic …
