A Dual‐Geochronologic and Thermochronologic Detrital Approach to Identify the Focus of Erosion in the Kosi Basin, Nepal

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Kosi River watershed captures the major lithotectonic units, structures, and characteristic climatic conditions found along the Himalaya. Therefore, this setting provides a useful location to investigate the respective influences of tectonics and climate in eroding bedrock and driving landscape evolution.

Early Cretaceous displacement on the Tanymas thrust fault, Northern Pamir, Tajikistan, and regional tectonic implications

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2023
An ongoing question in understanding the evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogeny is how much of the observed upper crustal shortening and crustal thickness is related to the Cenozoic collision between India and Asia vs earlier tectonic events along ...

Crustal Deformation Modes in the Pamir‐Tianshan Inferred From Crustal Anisotropy: Compressional Shortening Versus Gravitational Collapse

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract The Pamir Plateau stands out at the westernmost Tibetan Plateau as a north‐facing convex promontory, bordering the tectonically rejuvenated Tianshan orogen. To understand the mode of crustal deformation, we analyze crustal anisotropy in the Pamir‐Tianshan using shear wave splitting of the Moho‐converted phases.

Massive crustal carbon mobilization and emission driven by India underthrusting Asia

Communications Earth & Environment
The active Himalayan-Tibetan orogen, where India underthrusts into Asia, is an important geological source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission into Earth’s atmosphere.

Detailed tectonic geomorphology of the Dras fault zone, NW Himalaya

AIMS Geosciences, 2021
Our recent mapping of the Dras fault zone in the NW Himalaya has answered one of the most anticipated searches in recent times where strike-slip faulting was expected from the geodetic studies.

Geodetic Strain Rates, Slip Deficit Rates, and Seismic Potential in the Tianshan, Central Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract The Tianshan is an intracontinental orogenic belt that has experienced over 100 Mw ≥ 6 earthquakes since 1700. However, strain rates and slip deficit rates on mapped faults in this region—key factors in assessing its seismic potential—remain underexplored.
