Comparisons of the kinematics and deep structures of the Zagros and Himalaya and of the Iranian and Tibetan plateaus and geodynamic implications
D Hatzfeld, P Molnar - Reviews of Geophysics, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Compressional intracontinental orogens: Ancient and modern perspectives
Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

Deep burial of Asian continental crust beneath the Pamir imaged with local earthquake tomography
An inclined zone of intermediate-depth seismicity beneath the Pamir orogen in Central Asia
has been interpreted as southward subduction of a slab of Asian lithosphere. However, it is …

Thermal and tectonic consequences of India underthrusting Tibet
The Tibetan Plateau is the largest orogenic system on Earth, and has been influential in our
understanding of how the continental lithosphere deforms. Beneath the plateau are some of …

Seismotectonics of Bhutan: Evidence for segmentation of the Eastern Himalayas and link to foreland deformation
The instrumental record of Bhutan is characterized by a lower seismicity compared to other
parts of the Himalayan arc. To understand this low activity and its impact on the seismic …
