Timing and mechanisms of Tibetan Plateau uplift
The timing of the initial India–Asia collision and the mechanisms that led to the eventual
formation of the high (> 5 km) Tibetan Plateau remain enigmatic. In this Review, we describe …

First evidence of eclogites overprinted by ultrahigh temperature metamorphism in Everest East, Himalaya: Implications for collisional tectonics on early Earth
Modern-style plate tectonics, often characterised by subduction, is a fundamental dynamic
process for planet Earth. Subduction related eclogites are widely used to indicate initiation of …
