A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400
km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo …

Widespread anatexis was a regional response to the evolution of the Himalayan‐Tibetan
Orogen that occurred some 30 Ma after collision between Asia and India. This paper reviews …

摘要喜马拉雅2 青藏高原造山带的地质历史显示出, 自从约70Ma 印度板块2
亚洲板块开始碰撞以来, 至少有1 360 km 的SN 向缩短量被喜马拉雅2 青藏高原造山带所吸收 …

Abstract The Himalaya and Tibet provide an unparalleled opportunity to examine the
complex ways in which continents respond to collisional orogenesis. This paper is an …

A comparison of large orogenic belts formed at convergent plate boundaries indicates that
orogenic evolution comprises a period of crustal thickening followed by the formation of a …

The Main Central Thrust (MCT) juxtaposes the high‐grade Greater Himalayan Crystallines
over the lower‐grade Lesser Himalaya Formation; an apparent inverted metamorphic …

Based on a case study in the Central Maine Belt of west-central Maine, USA, it is proposed
that crustal-scale shear zone systems provide an effective focussing mechanism for transfer …

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 …

Coupled thermal-mechanical models of convergent orogens offer a novel way to investigate
the interactions between heat and tectonics that lead to regional metamorphism. In this …

We propose a model for syntectonic ascent and emplacement of granite magma based on
structural relations in part of the northern Appalachians. In the study area in western Maine …
