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 …

Nepal can be divided into the following five east–west trending major tectonic zones.(i) The
Terai Tectonic Zone which consists of over one km of Recent alluvium concealing the Churia …

• Future climate projections under various CMIP5 scenarios suggest warming of the HKH
region in the range of 2.6–4.6 C by the end of the twenty-first century. While future …

Abstract The Himalaya and Tibet provide an unparalleled opportunity to examine the
complex ways in which continents respond to collisional orogenesis. This paper is an …

Regional mapping, stratigraphic study, and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology provide the basis for
an incremental restoration of the Himalayan fold‐thrust belt in western Nepal …

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 …

The channel flow model aims to explain features common to metamorphic hinterlands of
some collisional orogens, notably along the Himalaya-Tibet system. Channel flow describes …

We compare the geologic histories, the deep structures, and the present‐day kinematics of
deformation of the Himalaya and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau with those of the Zagros and …

Abstract The South Tibetan Detachment (STD) System comprises both ductile shear zones
and brittle low-angle extensional faults bounding the upper (northern) margin of the high …

Neodymium (Nd) isotopes from the Himalayan fold-thrust belt and its associated foreland
basin deposits are useful for distinguishing between Himalayan tectonostratigraphic zones …
