Multi‐Stage Crustal Thickening, Surface Uplift, and Collision in the Western Himalaya‐Karakoram‐Tibet Orogen Revealed by Chemical Mohometry

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The Himalaya‐Karakoram‐Tibet (HKT) orogen provides an unrivaled opportunity to study the dynamic linkages between deep and surface processes during collisional orogenesis.

Radiogenic Heating as the Thermal Driver of Himalayan Crustal Heating During Prolonged Thickening

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The thermal evolution of the crust during continental collision evolves from cold to hot with time, which impacts crustal reworking and differentiation.

Orogenic Segmentation and Its Role in Himalayan Mountain Building [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The continental collision process has made a large contribution to continental growth and reconfiguration of cratons throughout Earth history. Many of the mountain belts present today are the product of continental collision such as the Appalachians, the Alps, the Cordillera, the Himalaya, the Zagros, and the Papuan Fold and Thrust Belt.

Lithospheric structures of the eastern Himalayas as revealed by receiver function analysis

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Although the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen is a result of compressional tectonics, the orogen also hosts active rifts accommodating east-west extension orthogonal to the north-south India-Asia convergence.

THE VOLGA-DON COLLISIONAL OROGEN IN THE EAST EUROPEAN CRATON AS THE PALEOPROTEROZOIC ANALOGUE OF THE HIMALAYAN-TIBETAN OROGEN

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2023
The ca 2.0 Ga Volgo-Don fold-and-thrust belt, about 500 km in width and at least 600 km in length, covering an area of about 300000 square kilometers intervenes between the Archean Sarmatian and Volgo-Uralian proto-cratonic blocks of the East European ...

Leucogranite Records Multiple Collisional Orogenies

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The geological evolution of orogens is the sum of events related to both their cycle of generation as well as features inherited from their basement units.

Quaternary glaciation of the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen [PDF]

Journal of Quaternary Science, 2008
AbstractGlacial geological evidence from throughout the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen is examined to determine the timing and extent of late Quaternary glaciation in this region and its relation to similar changes on a global scale. The evidence summarised here supports the existence of expanded ice caps and extensive valley glacier systems throughout the ...

Paleoseismological Findings at a New Trench Indicate the 1714 M8.1 Earthquake Ruptured the Main Frontal Thrust Over all the Bhutan Himalaya

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The 1714 Bhutan earthquake was one of the largest in the Himalaya in the last millennium. We show that the surface rupture caused by this earthquake extended further to the east than previously known, it was at least 175 km long, with slip exceeding 11 m

Provenance Shifts During Neogene Brahmaputra Delta Progradation Tied to Coupled Climate and Tectonic Change in the Eastern Himalaya

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The Bengal Basin preserves the erosional signals of coupled tectonic‐climatic change during late Cenozoic development of the Himalayan orogen, yet regional correlation and interpretation of these signals remains incomplete.

Change in Subduction Dip Angle of the Indian Continental Lithosphere Inferred From the Western Himalayan Eclogites

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The occurrence of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) and high-pressure (HP) rocks in the Himalayan orogen has been conventionally attributed to the different subduction dip angles along the strike.
