Tectonic evolution and global crustal architecture of the European Variscan belt constrained by geophysical data
Abstract The European Variscan belt is a unique orogen that is covered by comprehensive
sets of seismic and potential field data from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Polish …

[HTML][HTML] Geological, geophysical and plate kinematic constraints for models of the India-Asia collision and the post-Triassic central Tethys oceans
In this study, we integrate bedrock datasets, observations of subducted slabs in the mantle,
and plate kinematic constraints to constrain models for the India-Asia collision and the …

Tearing of Indian mantle lithosphere from high-resolution seismic images and its implications for lithosphere coupling in southern Tibet
What happened to the Indian mantle lithosphere (IML) during the Indian–Eurasian collision
and what role it has played on the plateau growth are fundamental questions that remain …

3D imaging of subducting and fragmenting Indian continental lithosphere beneath southern and central Tibet using body-wave finite-frequency tomography
We perform a finite-frequency tomographic inversion to image 3D velocity structures
beneath southern and central Tibet using teleseismic body-wave data recorded by the …

Formation of giant copper deposits in Tibet driven by tearing of the subducted Indian plate
Porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) occur in accretionary and collisional orogens, yet it is
unclear how continental collision controls their formation. Two fundamental issues are …

Strong seismic coupling underneath Garhwal–Kumaun region, NW Himalaya, India
No great earthquake has occurred in the Garhwal–Kumaun region of NW Himalaya in the
past 500 years or more. We report results of continuous GPS measurements from 28 sites …

Segmentation of the Himalayas as revealed by arc-parallel gravity anomalies
Lateral variations along the Himalayan arc are suggested by an increasing number of
studies and carry important information about the orogen's segmentation. Here we compile …
