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 …

Recent research in the Himalayan fold‐thrust belt provides two new sets of observations that
are crucial to understanding the evolution of the Himalayan‐Tibetan orogenic system. First …

Abstract The Cenozoic Qilian Shan thrust belt is the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau,
which developed in part due to progressive India-Asia convergence during Himalayan …

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 …

The topography, velocity, and strain fields calculated from a three‐dimensional Newtonian
viscous model for large‐scale crustal deformation are generally in good agreement with …

Geologic mapping and geochronological analysis in southwest (Kailas area) and southeast
(Zedong area) Tibet reveal two major episodes of Tertiary crustal shortening along the …

Cenozoic magmatism on the Tibetan plateau shows systematic variations in space and time
that must be considered in models concerning Tibetan tectonic evolution. After the India …

Geologists agree that the collision of the Indian and Asian plates caused uplift of the Tibet
Plateau. However, controversy still exists regarding the modes and mechanisms of the …

Comprehensive understanding of Himalayan orogenesis is limited in part by a poor
knowledge of the Eohimalayan episode; a phase of tectonic activity predating the better …

Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two
emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet …
