Northward migration of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis revealed by OSL thermochronometry

GE King, F Herman, B Guralnik - Science, 2016 - science.org
Erosion influences the dynamical evolution of mountains. However, evidence for the impact
of surface processes on tectonics mostly relies on the circumstantial coincidence of rugged …

A modern pulse of ultrafast exhumation and diachronous crustal melting in the Nanga Parbat Massif

VE Guevara, AJ Smye, MJ Caddick, MP Searle… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
We combine monazite petrochronology with thermal modeling to evaluate the relative roles
of crustal melting, surface denudation, and tectonics in facilitating ultrafast exhumation of the …

Early onset and late acceleration of rapid exhumation in the Namche Barwa syntaxis, eastern Himalaya

G Govin, P van Der Beek, Y Najman, I Millar… - …, 2020 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org

Detrital U–Pb rutile and zircon data show Indus River sediment dominantly eroded from East Karakoram, not Nanga Parbat

PD Clift, C Mark, A Alizai, H Khan, MQ Jan - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2022 - Elsevier
Rapid uplift and exhumation is hypothesized to occur within focused zones of orogenic
syntaxes which may dominate sediment flux from a mountain belt. The Namche Barwa …

Fault systems impede incision of the Yarlung river into the Tibetan plateau

D Cai, X Wang, G Li, R Jiao, B Kohn, W Zhu… - … Earth & Environment, 2023 - nature.com
It is widely accepted that tectonics generally enhances river incision. However, why rivers
have not incised further into orogenic plateaus to destroy terrains over long-time scales …

Unsteady topography in the eastern Tianshan due to imbalance between denudation and crustal thickening

J Charreau, PH Blard, J Lavé, S Dominguez, WS Li - Tectonophysics, 2023 - Elsevier
The Tianshan mountains have complex and variable topography and documenting their
growth is important for understanding both intracontinental mountain building and the …

Extreme localized exhumation at syntaxes initiated by subduction geometry

R Bendick, TA Ehlers - Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Some of the highest and most localized rates of lithospheric deformation in the world are
