How does the mid-crust accommodate deformation in large, hot collisional orogens? A review of recent research in the Himalayan orogen
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 …

A review on out-of-sequence deformation in the Himalaya
S Mukherjee - Special Publications, 2015 - lyellcollection.org
Out-of-sequence deformation in the Himalaya has been caused mainly by thrusting. Out-of-
sequence thrusts, usually north-to NE-dipping foreshear planes, occur inside the Sub …
