Late Cenozoic Cooling History of the Xigaze Fore-Arc Basin along the Yarlung–Zangbo Suture Zone (Southern Tibet): New Insights from Low-Temperature Thermochronology [PDF]
LithosphereThe Tibetan Plateau is currently the widest and highest elevation orogenic plateau on Earth. It formed as a response to the Cenozoic and is still ongoing collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

Tectono-magmatic evolution of the Philippine Sea Plate: A review
Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 The West Pacific Margin incorporates 75% of global marginal basins/back-arc basins. These basins and their adjacent trenches and island arcs constitute a huge trench-arc-basin system created by the interactions among three tectonic plates (the Pacific ...

Sequence stratigraphy of the Qom Formation in the Sirjan–Abadeh region [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2021 Sequence stratigraphy of the Qom Formation deposits (in two stratigraphic sections) in the Sirjan–Abadeh region has been studied. This formation in the Sirjan area (Bujan section; with Rupelian–Chattian age and 156 m thickness), consists mainly of medium-
