Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The origins of Cenozoic granites in the Himalaya are key to understanding the evolution of the Himalayan orogen. However, it is unclear whether these granites represent primary melts, and the nature of their magma source is controversial.

Mass elevation and lee effects markedly lift the elevational distribution of ground beetles in the Himalaya-Tibet orogen. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mass elevation and lee effects markedly influence snow lines and tree lines in high mountain systems. However, their impact on other phenomena or groups of organisms has not yet been quantified.

A model of the evolution of the lithosphere of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen
Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2021 The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen is one of the active orogens on Earth. The processes caused by the collision of two continents have attracted attention of many researchers, and over the past decades, a large amount of geological and geophysical data has ...

Plate tectonics: When ancient continents collide [PDF]
, 2017 The geological record preserves scant evidence for early plate tectonics. Analysis of eclogites — metamorphic rocks formed in subduction zones — in the Trans-Hudson mountain belt suggests modern-style subduction may have operated 1,800 million years ...

Geosciences, 2022 Epidote group minerals are one of the three most abundant kinds of heavy minerals in orogenic sediments, the other two being amphibole and garnet. They resist diagenesis better than amphibole and resist weathering in soils better than garnet.

Deconvolving the pre-Himalayan Indian margin – tales of crustal growth and destruction [PDF]
, 2018 The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra.

Exhumation, crustal deformation, and thermal structure of the Nepal Himalaya derived from the inversion of thermochronological and thermobarometric data and modeling of the topography [PDF]
, 2010 Two end‐member kinematic models of crustal shortening across the Himalaya are currently debated: one assumes localized thrusting along a single major thrust fault, the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) with nonuniform underplating due to duplexing, and the ...

Intra-crustal Mantle in the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen
, 2023 Abstract The Himalayan-Tibetan mountains raised due to doubling of the continental crust during the India-Asia collision, which is often assumed to have occurred by underthrusting of the Indian crust directly below the Asian crust. However, this model scenario requires very weak continental lithospheres, resulting in a collision system that is ...
