“Greater India” is an 80-yr-old concept that has been used by geoscientists in plate tectonic
models of the India–Asia collision system. Numerous authors working on the orogen and/or …

Abstract The Indo-Burma Ranges form an enigmatic mountain belt, with fragments of
evidence for an early accretionary history (Jurassic Jade belt HP-LT metamorphism; Early …

In the mantle underneath the Tethyan suture zone, large volumes of positive velocity
anomalies have been imaged by seismic tomography and interpreted as the present‐day …

The physics of low Reynolds number plumes is well understood, and this allows a number of
testable predictions to be made about mantle plumes. Mantle plumes are predicted to …

It is widely accepted that substantial relative motion has occurred between the Indo‐Atlantic
and Pacific hot spots since the Late Cretaceous. At the same time, a fixed Indo‐Atlantic hot …

We examine the role that flood basalt eruptions may have played during times of mass
extinction through the release of volcanic gases. Continental flood basalt provinces have …

We present a tectonic interpretation of the breakup and early seafloor spreading between
India and Antarctica based on improved coverage of potential field and seismic data off the …

Among the various university courses I took for my geoscience degree, volcanology and
structural geology motivated me by far the most. Volcanoes and deformed rocks are indeed …

We estimate average compositions of near-primary,'reference'ocean island basalts (OIBs)
for 120 volcanic centers from 31 major island groups and constrain the depth of lithosphere …

We present a high‐resolution 3‐D lithospheric model of the Indian plate region down to 300
km depth, obtained by inverting a new massive database of surface wave observations …
