The Tethyside orogen, a direct consequence of the separation of the Gondwanaland and the
accretion of Eurasia, is a huge composite orogenic system that was generated during …

The India–Asia collision resulted in the construction of the vast Himalayan orogen. The
northern Himalayan domain began to experience extensional tectonics since Eocene …

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

Within the Himalayan collisional belt, granotoids occur along two sub-parallel belts, the
Northern Himalayan Gneiss Domes (NHGD) and the High Himalayan Crystalline Series …

Late Oligocene–Miocene leucogranites within southern Tibet form part of an extensive
intrusive igneous province within the Himalayan orogen. The main rock types are tourmaline …

The channel flow model aims to explain features common to metamorphic hinterlands of
some collisional orogens, notably along the Himalaya-Tibet system. Channel flow describes …

The Himalayan leucogranites are critical for understanding the geodynamic process of
Himalayan orogenesis. In this article, we present petrological, geochronological and …

Tectonic models for the evolution of the Himalayan orogen interpret the Greater Himalayan
crystalline complex (GHC) to be the result of either thick-skinned thrusting involved Indian …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

The Himalayan leucogranite belt is evaluated as a prospect for rare-metal mineralization.
The Pusila pluton is located 44 km northwest of Mount Everest, and consists of two-mica …
