Detrital zircon geochronology of pre‐Tertiary strata in the Tibetan‐Himalayan orogen [PDF]
Tectonics, 2011 Detrital zircon data have recently become available from many different portions of the Tibetan-Himalayan orogen. This study uses 13,441 new or existing U-Pb ages of zircon crystals from strata in the Lesser Himalayan, Greater Himalayan, and Tethyan ...

Cosmogenic 10Be and equilibrium-line altitude dataset of Holocene glacier advances in the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2019 A comprehensive analysis of the variable temporal and spatial responses of tropical-subtropical high-altitude glaciers to climate change is critical for successful model predictions and environmental risk assessment in the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen.

European Variscan orogenic evolution as an analogue of Tibetan‐Himalayan orogen: Insights from petrology and numerical modeling [PDF]
Tectonics, 2016 AbstractThe European Variscan orogeny can be compared to the Tibetan‐Himalayan system for three main reasons: (1) The Variscan belt originated through progressive amalgamation of Gondwanan blocks that were subsequently squeezed between the Laurussia and Gondwana continents.

Spatio-temporal constraints on thrusting across fold-and-thrust belts worldwide [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFold-and-thrust belts (FTBs) are fundamental geological structures whose spatio-temporal evolution can be reconstructed using s–t graphs that integrate thrust positions and timing to trace sequences of activation and reactivation.

Refined weathering CO2 budget of the Tibetan Plateau strongly modulated by sulphide oxidation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEstimation of net CO2 consumption by weathering in orogen is complicated as high erosion rate promotes competing processes of CO2 consumption (silicate weathering) and releasing (sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissolution of carbonate).

Characterizing crustal melt episodes in the Himalayan orogen
, 2014 Extensive studies have been undertaking in exploring the tectonic evolution of the Himalayan Orogen. Various tectonic models were developed to explain and constraint spatially and temporally critical events including the collision of Indian Plate with the Eurasia Plate, crustal thickening in association with the indentation, crustal spreading of the ...

Molecular phylogeny of mega-diverse Carabus attests late Miocene evolution of alpine environments in the Himalayan–Tibetan Orogen [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The timing, sequence, and scale of uplift of the Himalayan–Tibetan Orogen (HTO) are controversially debated. Many geoscientific studies assume paleoelevations close to present-day elevations and the existence of alpine environments across the HTO already

Carbonate- and silicate-metasomatized mantle beneath Himalayan-Tibetan orogenic belt. [PDF]
Commun Earth EnvironAbstract The extreme geochemical enrichment of post-collisional potassium-rich lava in the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt has led researchers to hypothesize that enrichment is inherited from a metasomatized mantle source potentially incorporating crustal components.
