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 …

Prevailing opinion assigns the Tibetan Plateau a crucial role in shaping Asian climate,
primarily by heating of the atmosphere over Tibet during spring and summer. Accordingly …

We process rigorously GPS data observed during the past 25 years from continental China
to derive site secular velocities. Analysis of the velocity solution leads to the following …

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 …

We have compiled the distribution of active faults and folds in the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen
and its immediate surrounding regions into a web-based digital map. The main product of …

The Tibetan crust is twice as thick as average continental crust. Crustal compression and
shortening as a result of Indian–Asian collision is often considered to be the primary cause …

A long‐standing problem in the geological evolution of the India‐Asia collision zone is how
and where convergence between India and Asia was accommodated since collision …

Sedimentologic and provenance analyses for the Qaidam Basin in the northern Tibetan
Plateau help to elucidate the stratigraphic signatures of initial deformation and exhumation …

The Kailas basin developed during late Oligocene–early Miocene time along the Indus-
Yarlung suture zone in southwestern Tibet. The> 2.5-km-thick basin-filling Kailas Formation …

During the past 15 years, numerous studies have reported not only ecological and climatic
changes at 6-8 Ma, but also the roughly concurrent onsets of tectonic processes in regions …
