Abstract The 2025 Mw ${\mathrm{M}}_{\mathrm{w}}$ 7.1 Dingri earthquake is a large normal‐faulting event within the Southern Tibet Rift System. We use space‐borne radar interferometry to investigate both coseismic rupture and ∼3‐month early afterslip. Results show that this event ruptured a west‐dipping (48°) fault, exhibiting a predominant normal dip ...

Understanding Himalayan denudation at the catchment and orogen scale [PDF]
Understanding the rates and processes of denudation is key to unraveling the dynamic processes that shape active orogens. This includes decoding the roles of tectonic and climate-driven processes in the long-term evolution of high- mountain landscapes in regions with pronounced tectonic activity and steep climatic and surface-process gradients.

Abstract A limitation in our understanding of the geodynamics of orogenies is the difficulty in resolving the spatial variations in long‐term processes such as exhumation of the crust. Although geodesy can record ground motions to millimeter‐scale precision at high spatial and temporal resolutions, these observations only cover a small fraction of the ...

Abstract The drift history of the Tethyan Himalaya provides key constraints on the India‐Asia collision, Himalayan‐Tibetan orogenesis, and associated global climate change. Here we present rock magnetic, petrographic, geochronologic, and paleomagnetic results of the Bolinxiala Formation limestones in the western Tethyan Himalaya.

Mesozoic–Tertiary exhumation history of the Altai Mountains, northern Xinjiang, China: New constraints from apatite fission track data [PDF]
This study uses apatite fission track (FT) analysis to constrain the exhumation history of bedrock samples collected from the Altai Mountains in northern Xinjiang, China.

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]
Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.

Himalayan metamorphic sequence as an orogenic channel: insight from Bhutan
The Bhutan Himalayas differ from the rest of the Himalayas in two major ways: (i) low-grade sedimentary rocks lie above the Greater Himalayan Sequence as klippen (i.e. erosional remains of the South Tibetan Detachment); and (ii) an out-of-sequence thrust, the Kakhtang thrust, lies structurally above the klippen, and it doubles the exposed thickness of ...

Abstract Mantle metasomatism is a common phenomenon in convergent margins; however, metasomatism by subducted sediments and their role in alkaline magma generation remain poorly understood. Alkaline rocks from the Tangra‐YumCo rift (TYR) in southern Tibet show a unique geochemical composition among post‐collisional volcanic rocks of the Lhasa terrane ...
