The timing of initial collision between India and Asia has remained controversial for half a
century. This paper attempts to review this crucial and hotly debated argument, describing …

The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

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 …

Models for the growth of continental crust rely on knowing the balance between the
generation of new crust and the reworking of old crust throughout Earth's history. The …

Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks derived from the southern Lhasa terrane, sitting depositionally
upon rocks of the northern Indian passive continental margin, provide an estimate of the age …

Abstract The India-Asia collision is an outstanding smoking gun in the study of continental
collision dynamics. How and when the continental collision occurred remains a long …

The time of initial collision between India and Asia has been extremely controversial despite
the fact that it is vital to constraining the orogenesis and subsequent evolution of the …

The enigmatic geodynamic processes involved in the India-Asia collision shape our
understanding of uplift and deformation of the Tibetan Plateau and the subsequent changes …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

Tectonic models for the Oligocene–Miocene development of the Himalaya mountain range
are largely focused on crustal-scale processes, and developed along orogen-perpendicular …
