The Brahmaputra tale of tectonics and erosion:early Miocene river capture in the Eastern Himalaya [PDF]
, 2015 The Himalayan orogen provides a type example on which a number of models of the causes and consequences of crustal deformation are based and it has been suggested that it is the site of a variety of feedbacks between tectonics and erosion.

Channel flow and the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen: a critical review [PDF]
Journal of the Geological Society, 2007 The movement of a low-viscosity crustal layer in response to topographic loading provides a potential mechanism for (1) eastward flow of the Asian lower crust causing the peripheral growth of the Tibetan Plateau and (2) southward flow of the Indian middle crust to be extruded along the Himalayan topographic front.

Middle-Miocene transformation of tectonic regime in the Himalayan orogen [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012 Understanding the multiple tectonic transformations during the Himalayan orogeny is significant in evaluating the evolution of Himalayan orogen. In the Gyirong area in south Tibet, deformed leucogranitic veins in the biotite-plagioclase gneisses of Greater Himalayan crystalline complex (GHC) constitute south-vergent asymmetric folds. The reconstruction

Oligocene Orogen‐Parallel Extension in Southern Tibet During Indian Continental Subduction
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The controversial history of Indian subduction beneath Asia is crucial to understand the Himalayan orogeny and more in general the geodynamic process of continental subduction.

Thermokinematic evolution of the Annapurna-Dhaulagiri Himalaya, central Nepal: The composite orogenic system [PDF]
, 2016 The Himalayan orogen represents a ‘‘Composite Orogenic System’’ in which channel flow, wedge extrusion, and thrust stacking operate in separate ‘‘Orogenic Domains’’ with distinct rheologies and crustal positions.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Revealing the timescales of metamorphic and anatectic processes is central to our understanding of tectonic evolution of collisional orogens. High‐temperature migmatites and leucogranites are well exposed in the Himalayan orogenic core, making it an ...
