As a major component of continental crust, granites have been served as the most important
subject in geology. Based on advancements obtained during past decades, this paper …

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 …

The India–Asia collision resulted in the construction of the vast Himalayan orogen. The
northern Himalayan domain began to experience extensional tectonics since Eocene …

The formation of the Himalaya was associated with the exhumation of high-grade
metamorphosed rocks of the Higher Himalayan sequence (HHS) complex, which underwent …

Late Oligocene–Miocene leucogranites within southern Tibet form part of an extensive
intrusive igneous province within the Himalayan orogen. The main rock types are tourmaline …

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 …

The Himalayan leucogranites are critical for understanding the geodynamic process of
Himalayan orogenesis. In this article, we present petrological, geochronological and …

Results from a thermal‐mechanical model (HT1) that includes midcrustal channel flow are
compatible with many features of the Himalayan‐Tibetan system. Radioactive self‐heating …

The onset of mountain building in the western part of the Himalayan orogenic belt has been
documented in the synorogenic stratigraphic record of northern Pakistan and India as Early …

Two end‐member kinematic models of crustal shortening across the Himalaya are currently
debated: one assumes localized thrusting along a single major thrust fault, the Main …
