The timing of initial collision between India and Asia has remained controversial for half a
century. This paper attempts to review this crucial and hotly debated argument, describing …

In this study, we integrate bedrock datasets, observations of subducted slabs in the mantle,
and plate kinematic constraints to constrain models for the India-Asia collision and the …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

The formation of the Himalaya was associated with the exhumation of high-grade
metamorphosed rocks of the Higher Himalayan sequence (HHS) complex, which underwent …

Widespread anatexis was a regional response to the evolution of the Himalayan‐Tibetan
Orogen that occurred some 30 Ma after collision between Asia and India. This paper reviews …

Tectonic models for the Oligocene–Miocene development of the Himalaya mountain range
are largely focused on crustal-scale processes, and developed along orogen-perpendicular …

This paper introduces how crustal thickening controls the growth of the Himalaya by
summarizing the P‐T‐t evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core. The Himalayan …

The largest crystalline unit representing the mid-crust in the Himalayan belt is the Greater
Himalayan Sequence (GHS) which stretches all over the 2400 km of length of the belt. The …

The problem of excess 40 Ar (Ar E) affecting 40 Ar/39 Ar dates, particularly in biotite, is a
long-standing issue in Himalayan geology. The development of in situ Rb-Sr dating presents …

Abstract The Himalayan Orogen consists of two rock packages that parallel the topographic
trend of the mountain belt between the eastern and western syntaxes. To avoid confusion …
