The Himalayan Orogenic Segment
1989The year 1964 when the International Geological Congress met for the first time in India, A. Gansser published his “Geology of the Himalayas” that remains more than 20 years after the cornerstone of our geological knowledge of the highest mountain range of the world. Since the Delhi congress, however, a large amount of new information has been gathered

Landscape development of the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen: a review
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2010Abstract The Himalayan–Tibetan orogen provides one of the best natural laboratories in which to examine the nature and dynamics of landscape development within continent–continent collision zones. Many new tectonic–climatic–geomorphological theories and models have emerged and/or have been greatly influenced as a consequence of the study of ...

Exhumed Himalayan-type syntaxis in the Grenville orogen, northeastern Laurentia
Journal of Geodynamics, 2004A deep-seated analog of the syntaxis developed in the Tibetan Plateau occurs in the Grenville Orogen of eastern Laurentia. During the final assembly of Rodinia, Amazonia collided with Laurentia and produced a series of large, conjugate, transcurrent, shear systems and pervasive strike-slip deformation that overprinted compressional structures related ...

Reconstruction of the evolution of the Alpine-Himalayan orogen - an introduction
Journal of the Virtual Explorer, 2002The Alpine-Himalayan belt is a young orogen suturing Gondwana-derived fragments with Eurasian continental crust. Its general structure, as a continuous belt of Mesozoic and Cenozoic deformation from Spain to Southeast Asia is described in the pioneering work of Argand (1924)(Figure 1).

Water in the Thickened Lower Crust of the Eastern Himalayan Orogen
Journal of Earth Science, 2018Water content in nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) of the high-pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks controls the thermal structure, rheology and partial melting of orogenic belts. This paper conducts a systematic analysis of water in NAMs of the HP granulites from the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS), representing the thickened lower crust of the eastern ...

Geochronological enigma of the HP–UHP rocks in the Himalayan orogen
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2018Abstract The subduction of Indian plate lithosphere during its collision with Asian plate in the Eocene resulted in a regional metamorphic belt along the strike of the Himalayan orogen. High-/ultrahigh-pressure (HP/UHP) metamorphic rocks (eclogites and host gneisses) confirm the metamorphic event in western Himalaya (Kaghan

Extensional collapse of the Himalayan orogen in the Late Miocene.
The collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates ~ 55 Ma formed the Himalaya, one of the youngest mountain belts. This convergence led to two significant metamorphic stages: M1, which occurs under high pressure and low temperature in a thick crust, and M2, resulting from crustal thinning in a high-temperature, low-pressure environment, evolved the ...Rabindra Kumar Patel +5 more
