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 …
Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks derived from the southern Lhasa terrane, sitting depositionally upon rocks of the northern Indian passive continental margin, provide an estimate of the age …
A compilation of 290 zircon U–Pb ages of intrusive rocks indicates that the Gangdese Batholith in southern Tibet was emplaced from c. 210 Ma to c. 10 Ma. Two intense magmatic …
During the Mesozoic–Cenozoic, northward Neotethyan subduction and subsequent India– Asia collision gave rise to the extensive Transhimalayan magmatism that stretches from …
Timing of the collision between India and Asia is the key boundary condition in all models for the evolution of the Himalaya‐Tibetan orogenic system. Thus it profoundly affects the …
The purpose of this first synthesis is to summarize findings on the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) ophiolites and discuss still remaining problems. The YZSZ studied for almost …

Uppermost Cretaceous to Eocene marine sedimentary sequences occur both to the south and north of the Yarlung Zangbo suture in south central Tibet. They consist of Indian‐margin …
