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 …

Continental China is a mosaic of numerous tectonic blocks, which amalgamated from
Neoarchean to Cenozoic broadly coeval with the cycles of global supercontinents such as …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits in collisional orogens are new targets for modern
mineral exploration, yet it is unclear why they preferentially occur in some specific tectonic …

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 …

Detrital zircon data have recently become available from many different portions of the
Tibetan–Himalayan orogen. This study uses 13,441 new or existing U‐Pb ages of zircon …

Variations in continental volcanic arc emissions have the potential to control atmospheric
carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and climate change on multimillion-year time scales. Here we …

The recent discovery of large porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) associated with Miocene (22–
12 Ma) granitoid magmas in the eastern section of the Paleocene-Eocene Gangdese …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

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 …
