Surface wave imaging using deep reflection seismic data: a study on the Cuonadong dome

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2022
As interference waves in deep reflection data processing, surface waves are often suppressed as noise, but surface waves carry considerable underground media information, including structural information and the physical properties of rocks.

Himalayan Leucogranites: An Experimental Petrology Perspective

open access: yesElements
The High Himalayan leucogranites (HHL) are produced by muscovite breakdown of a metapelitic source, at temperatures below 800 °C, with initial melt water contents of ~5–7 wt.%. The tourmaline-rich HHL variety is colder, possibly a fractionation product of the hotter two-mica HHL.

Radiogenic Heating as the Thermal Driver of Himalayan Crustal Heating During Prolonged Thickening

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The thermal evolution of the crust during continental collision evolves from cold to hot with time, which impacts crustal reworking and differentiation. However, it remains elusive as to the mechanism driving the crust to be hot during the protracted collision.

Long‐Lasting Plutonism During Orogenic Cycles: Incremental Emplacement of the Variscan Bassiès Pluton (Central Pyrenees, France)

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 316-323, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Laser ablation U–Pb single zircon geochronology was applied to four peraluminous granite and granodiorite samples from the Bassiès pluton in the Central Pyrenees (France) yielding a wide range of concordant ages from early Carboniferous (Tournaisian, 351 Ma) to early Permian (Artinskian, 285 Ma).

Multi‐Stage Crustal Thickening, Surface Uplift, and Collision in the Western Himalaya‐Karakoram‐Tibet Orogen Revealed by Chemical Mohometry

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Himalaya‐Karakoram‐Tibet (HKT) orogen provides an unrivaled opportunity to study the dynamic linkages between deep and surface processes during collisional orogenesis. However, these efforts are hindered by conflicting interpretations on the number and timing of collisional events, and the timing of crustal thickening and associated ...

Raising the Roof of the World: Intra‐Crustal Asian Mantle Supports the Himalayan‐Tibetan Orogen

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Himalayan‐Tibetan orogen formed via the ongoing collision of India and Asia. Its colossal elevations stem from buoyant crustal roots that doubled in thickness during continental collision, widely believed to result from Indian crust under‐thrusting its Asian counterpart and Asian crustal thickening. However, a single crustal layer of up to

Significance of Leucogranitic Gneiss in the Archean Teton Range

open access: yesThe UW National Parks Service Research Station Annual Reports, 2008
In previous years of this project, we have developed the hypothesis that the high-pressure granulites exposed in the Moose Basin area of the Teton Range represent evidence of a 2.7 billion year­old continent-continent collision. We have described gneisses in the Teton Range that show two distinct metamorphic histories. In the northwest there are high­

Stratigraphy and geomorphology of Des‐Cubierta Cave (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid, Spain): Geological insights into a Neanderthal symbolic accumulation of large crania

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 958-976, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Des‐Cubierta Cave, part of the Calvero de la Higuera complex, is situated in the intramountainous upper valley of the Lozoya River within the Guadarrama Range. The cave's geological, palaeontological, and archaeological record reveals a complex history of sedimentary and anthropogenic processes spanning hundreds of thousands of years ...
