On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Thermal Evolution of the Mid-Crust From the Himalayan Orogen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Haimanta Group, at the top of the exhumed mid-crust in the western Himalaya (Sutlej valley), underwent prograde metamorphism to depths of 25 to 30 km at c. 30 Ma. Initial exhumation of the Haimanta Group was accompanied by further heating, from 610-620 °C up to 660 °C at c. 23 Ma; further exhumation (at c. 1.3 mm/yr) to a depth of c.

Dynamic fluvial systems and gravel progradation in the Himalayan foreland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Although the large-scale stratigraphy of many terrestrial foreland basins is punctuated by major episodes of gravel progradation, the relationships of such facies to hinterland tectonism and climate change are often unclear. Structural reentrants provide

Geochemistry and provenance of the Lower Siwaliks from southwestern Kohat, western Himalayan Foreland Basin, NW Pakistan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Equivalent to the Lower Siwalik Group, the Late Miocene Chinji Formation in Pakistan consists of interbedded in-channel sandstone (SSt) and overbank mudstone (MSt) sequences.

Metamorphic constraints on the thermal evolution of the central Himalayan Orogen

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1988
Recent studies that integrate conventional thermobarometry of pelitic mineral assemblages with thermodynamic modeling of garnet zoning reveal complex Tertiary P -T paths for the Greater Himalayan metamorphic sequence in the central Himalaya. Viewed in light of our current understanding of the structural evolution of the Himalaya, these data provide ...
