Segmentation of the Himalayas as revealed by arc-parallel gravity anomalies [PDF]

, 2016
International audienceLateral variations along the Himalayan arc are suggested by an increasing number of studies and carry important information about the orogen’s segmentation.

Continental subduction of Adria in the Apennines and relation with seismicity and hazard

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The subduction of continental lithosphere is a complex process because the buoyancy of the crust is higher than the oceanic and should resist sinking into the mantle.

Intraoceanic Subduction System Within the Neo‐Tethys: Evidence From Late Cretaceous Arc Magmatic Rocks of the Eastern Himalaya

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
The tectonic evolution of the Neo‐Tethys Ocean remains highly controversial, with several models existing in the community that conflict with each other. Here, we present new geochronologic and geochemical data for orthogneisses and amphibolites from the

Seismological structure of the 1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson Orogen of North America [PDF]

, 2016
Precambrian tectonic processes are debated: what was the nature and scale of orogenic events on the younger, hotter, and more ductile Earth? Northern Hudson Bay records the Paleoproterozoic collision between the Western Churchill and Superior plates—the ∼

Nature and timing of Quaternary glaciation in the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen [PDF]

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2014
Much effort has been made in recent years to define the timing and extent of Quaternary glaciation throughout the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen. These studies are challenging because of the logistical and political inaccessibility of the region, and the inherent problems associated with the application of numerical dating techniques.

Molecular Phylogenies indicate a Paleo-Tibetan Origin of Himalayan Lazy Toads (Scutiger)

Scientific Reports, 2017
The Himalaya presents an outstanding geologically active orogen and biodiversity hotspot. However, our understanding of the historical biogeography of its fauna is far from comprehensive.

Synchronous N-S and E-W extension at the Tibet-to-Himalaya transition in NW Bhutan [PDF]

, 2015
Despite ~50 Myr of continuous continent-continent collision, contractional structures in the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen are today limited to the northern and southern margins of the system, while extension dominates much of the interior.

Metamorphic constraints on the character and displacement of the South Tibetan fault system, central Bhutanese Himalaya [PDF]

, 2012
The South Tibetan fault system (STFS), a family of primarily extensional faults that separates the metamorphic core of the Himalaya (expressed as the Greater Himalayan sequence (GHS)) from overlying, predominately unmetamorphosed Tibetan sedimentary ...

Spatiotemporal distribution and geodynamic mechanism of the nearly NS-trending rifts in the Tibetan Plateau

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
A set of nearly NS-trending rifts developed in the Himalayan orogen and southern Tibet, which are the large-scale extensional structures formed under the continuous compression of the Indo-Eurasia continent, playing a significant role in revealing the ...
