The Indian Plate subducting below the Tibet Plateau is tearing apart
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe first-order configuration of the Himalayan orogen is defined by northward motion of the Indian plate, whether directly underplating Tibetan crust or subducting beneath a mantle wedge.

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017 The objective of this paper is to represent the main features inherent to Grenville-Sveconorwegian Orogen (GSNO) and to propose a model of tectonic and geodynamic evolution of this orogen based on the results of research concerning similar Precambrian ...

The Euphrates-Tigris-Karun river system: Provenance, recycling and dispersal of quartz-poor foreland-basin sediments in arid climate [PDF]
, 2016 We present a detailed sediment-provenance study on the modern Euphrates-Tigris-Karun fluvial system and Mesopotamian foreland basin, one of the cradles of humanity. Our rich petrographic and heavy-mineral dataset, integrated by sand geochemistry and U–Pb

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract The Zagros orogen records the closure of the Neotethys Ocean by northward subduction of the oceanic slab beneath the Iranian plate. Northwestern Iran has undergone episodic volcanism since the Eocene, due to a shift of tectonic regimes from subduction to collision and post‐collisional extension, although the dynamics responsible for such ...

Testing the effects of topography, geometry, and kinematics on modeled thermochronometer cooling ages in the eastern Bhutan Himalaya [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2018 In this study, reconstructions of a balanced geologic cross section in the Himalayan fold–thrust belt of eastern Bhutan are used in flexural–kinematic and thermokinematic models to understand the sensitivity of predicted cooling ages to changes in ...

Secular Evolution of the Seismic Structure of Continental Crust, Archean to Present
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract We summarize the seismic and density structure of continental crust as a function of crustal age and evaluate the secular changes in these physical properties. We subdivide the continental crust into six age provinces, from Archean to Mesozoic‐Cenozoic, and calculate the surface area, mean crustal thickness, volume, mass, and seismic velocity ...

Ore Geology Reviews, 2014 Abstract The southern Tibet Au Sb metallogenic belt in the Himalayan orogen consists of more than 50 gold, gold–antimony and antimony lode deposits, and associated placer gold deposit. The deposits are hosted in a Mesozoic metamorphosed turbidite sequence of the Indian passive continental margin.
