When and where did India and Asia collide? [PDF]

, 2007
Timing of the collision between India and Asia is the key boundary condition in all models for the evolution of the Himalaya-Tibetan orogenic system.

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Late Miocene Uplift and Exhumation of the Lesser Himalaya Recorded by Clumped Isotope Compositions of Detrital Carbonate

Geophysical Research Letters
The Himalaya orogen evolved since the Eocene as the Tethyan‐, Greater‐, Lesser‐ and Sub‐Himalaya thrust sheets were uplifted and exhumed in sequence.

Comment on “Channel flow, tectonic overpressure, and exhumation of high-pressure rocks in the Greater Himalayas” by Marques et al. (2018) [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2019
The upward-tapering channel model proposed by Marques et al. (2018) for the Himalayas has a “base” that forms part of the subducting footwall and therefore does not close the channel.

Evidence for a Far-Traveled Thrust Sheet in the Greater Himalayan Thrust System, and an Alternative Model to Building the Himalaya [PDF]

, 2015
The Galchhi shear zone underlies the Kathmandu klippe in central Nepal and has emerged as a key structure for discriminating competing models for the formation of the Himalayan orogenic wedge.

Late Triassic Hydroclimatic Changes in Central China Linked to Evolving Mountain Topography

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract During the Late Triassic, tropical Pangea drifted northward into subtropical latitudes and became progressively drier. In contrast, South China, despite experiencing a similar latitudinal shift, transitioned from an arid to humid climate. Based on the sedimentary record of the Zigui Basin, this study constrains the arid to humid climatic shift

Conservation and redistribution of crust during the Indo‐Asian collision [PDF]

, 2014
We evaluate the mass balance of the Indo‐Asian orogen by reconstructing the Indian and Asian margins prior to collision using recently published paleomagnetic and surface shortening constraints, and subtracting modern crustal volumes derived from gravity

Characteristics of ∼40 Ma Mafic Rocks in North Tibet and Their Tectonic Implications

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Several magmatic belts are present in the Tibetan Plateau. Among these, the Qiangtang magmatic belt in North Tibet remains elusive. In particular, the petrogenesis, magma source, and tectonic implications of the ultramafic to mafic rocks in the North Qiangtang area are underinvestigated due to their sparsity and remoteness.

Detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology and fluvial basin evolution of the Liuqu Conglomerate within the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone: A critical geochronometer for the collision tectonics of the Tibetan-Himalayan Orogenic Belt

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
We present new U-Pb detrital zircon ages, depositional history and tectonic model for the Liuqu Conglomerate (LQC) in southern Tibet that represents a critical geochronometer for the collision history of the Tibetan-Himalayan Orogenic Belt.
