Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Himalayan orogen as constrained by along-strike variation of structural geometry, exhumation history, and foreland sedimentation
A Yin - Earth-Science Reviews, 2006 - Elsevier
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 …
