In this study, we integrate bedrock datasets, observations of subducted slabs in the mantle,
and plate kinematic constraints to constrain models for the India-Asia collision and the …

The presence of hot, weak crust is a central component of recent hypotheses that seek to
explain the evolution of continent-continent collisions, and in particular may play an …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Torrential rains, landslides, and seismic activity are the common factors that are causing
unprecedented damage to life, property and infrastructure in Mandakini and Bhilangana …

We present a new geologic map of western Nepal and three balanced regional cross
sections in the Himalayan thrust belt. The minimum shortening between the South Tibetan …

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 …

The Kathmandu thrust sheet consists of Upper Proterozoic through mid-Paleozoic rocks that
were emplaced over Lesser Himalayan strata (part of India's cratonal cover) during middle to …

The deformation and uplifting history of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is a controversial issue,
and so far there has been insufficient evidence for interpretation. Investigations of the …
