Present-day Asia comprises a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks, derived from the
Indian–west Australian margin of eastern Gondwana, and subduction related volcanic arcs …

This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen
from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …

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 …

Earth's continental crust is dominantly made of buoyant, felsic igneous material (granitoids),
that was ultimately extracted from the mantle as a result of Earth's differentiation. Since felsic …

The breakup of Pangea in the Jurassic saw the opening of major ocean basins at the
expense of older Tethyan and Pacific oceanic plates. Although the Tethyan seafloor …

The Himalayan orogeny, a result of the collision of India and Eurasia, provides direct
evidence of strain accommodation and large-scale rheological behavior of the continental …

Key in understanding the geodynamics governing subduction and orogeny is reconstructing
the paleogeography of 'Greater India', the Indian plate lithosphere that subducted since …

The combination of U–Pb, Lu–Hf and O isotopic analyses in global zircon databases has
recently been used to constrain continental crustal growth and evolution. To identify crust …

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 …

Despite several decades of investigations, inferences on the timing and nature of collisions
along the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Eurasian margin remain controversial. We assimilate …
