Petrographic classifications of sand and sandstone proposed more than half a century ago
are still in use, although they were formulated at a time when depositional and post …

The classical approach to sandstone petrology, established in the golden years of plate
tectonics and based on the axiom that “detrital modes of sandstone suites primarily reflect …

A range of ages have been proposed for the timing of India‐Asia collision; the range to some
extent reflects different definitions of collision and methods used to date it. In this paper we …

Abstract Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) and Sediment Generation (SG) are two branches
of sedimentary geology which are complementary, although their full integration remains …

The sediment archive, of material eroded from an active tectonic region and stored in
adjacent basins, can provide a valuable record of hinterland tectonism especially when …

The onset of mountain building in the western part of the Himalayan orogenic belt has been
documented in the synorogenic stratigraphic record of northern Pakistan and India as Early …

Type and amount of sediment generation are intimately connected to tectonic and climatic
processes active at the earth's surface today as well as throughout the geologic past. Detrital …
