We report paleomagnetic data showing that an intraoceanic Trans-Tethyan subduction zone
existed south of the Eurasian continent and north of the Indian subcontinent until at least …

Multiple subduction events occurred preceding the collision of Greater India with the
Karakoram terrane that consumed the Neotethyan Ocean between Early Cretaceous and …

The nature, extension, and evolution of the Meso-Tethys still remain unclear to researchers,
and this has thereby hindered in-depth study of the Tethys tectonic domain. In this paper, we …

Tectonic interpretations of arc remnants in the Himalayan orogen remain uncertain, despite
their important implications for the overall convergence history between India and Eurasia …

Abstract The Karakoram Terrane (KT) in the western margin of the Himalayan-Tibetan
orogen preserves the record of the Tethyan oceanic lithospheric subduction beneath the …

New geological observations, recent published data and U–Pb SHRIMP zircon dating from
the Karakoram Mountains along the Nubra and Shyok Rivers reveal that the initial …

In this study, we present new mineral and whole‐rock geochemical data with zircon U–Pb
ages of the Khardung volcanics (KV) from the western Himalaya and discuss their tectono …

Abstract The India‐Eurasia collision is a key case study for understanding the influence of
plate tectonic processes on Earth's crust, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere …

We determined U–Pb ages on zircons from Ladakh granitoid samples of three previously
undated plutons and deduced four distinct age groups between c. 67 and c. 45 Ma …

The Shyok Suture in western Himalaya preserves a record of the opening and closure of the
Mesotethys Ocean between the Shyok ophiolite and Karakoram terrane prior to the India …
