The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

Despite a long research history over the past 150 years, the geometry, kinematics, and
dynamic evolution of the Himalayan orogen remain poorly understood. This is mainly due to …

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 …

Abstract Convergence of the Indian Plate towards Eurasia has led to the building of the
Himalaya, the highest mountain range on Earth. Active mountain building involves a …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

Abstract The Himalaya and Tibet provide an unparalleled opportunity to examine the
complex ways in which continents respond to collisional orogenesis. This paper is an …

Long-standing problems in the geological evolution of the Tibetan–Himalayan orogen
include where the India–Asia convergence was accommodated and how the plateau grew …

Reconstructions of the relative positions of the India and Eurasia plates, using recently
revised histories of movement between India and Somalia and between North America and …

Along the southern Himalayan topographic front, the Indian summer monsoon modulates
erosive processes and rates. To investigate the influence of topography and relief on rainfall …
