Mid-Pleistocene climate transition drives net mass loss from rapidly uplifting St. Elias Mountains, Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Erosion, sediment production and routing on a tectonically active continental margin reflect both tectonic and climatic processes; partitioning the relative importance of these processes remains controversial.

Tectono-sedimentary evolution of upper Assam “inter-orogenic” peripheral foreland basin, India

open access: yesDiscover Geoscience
The northern periphery of the Indian craton is the leading edge of the under-thrusting continent in the continent–continent collision set up between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

Out-of-sequence faulting of the Jwalamukhi Thrust, India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The southernmost thrust of the Himalayan orogenic wedge that separates the foreland from the orogen, the Main Frontal Thrust, is thought to accommodate most of the ongoing crustal shortening in the Sub-Himalaya.

Tectonics Influence The Climate Change In The Himalayan Orogenic Belt

open access: yes, 2019
Introduction The high altitude mountain system (i.e., Himalaya) and the Tibetan Plateau region formed after the intracontinental collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates during 55–50 Ma (Neupane et al., 2017 and reference therein). The Himalayan range, separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau, extends 2,400 km-long ...

Kinematics and Vorticity in Kangmar Dome, Southern Tibet: Testing Midcrustal Channel-flow Models for the Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Kinematic, kinematic vorticity (Wm), and deformation temperature analyses were completed to test the hypothesis that midcrustal rocks exposed in the core of the Kangmar gneiss dome, southern Tibet record ductile deformation patterns of a “frozen” segment

Sedimentological and chemostratigraphic constraints on the provenance of sandstones and mudstones from the Kuldana and Murree formations in the Sub Himalayas

open access: yesDiscover Geoscience
The Kuldana Formation and Murree Formation along the eastern margin of the Hazara Kashmir Syntaxis (HKS) in Pakistan’s sub-Himalayas, particularly in the Haveli district, were studied for their sedimentological, geochemical, and petrographic ...
