Titanite petrochronology

MJ Kohn - Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2017 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Titanite (CaTiSiO5) is a common mineral in calc-silicates, metamorphosed igneous rocks,
and calc-alkaline plutons. The mineral was first named by Martin Klaproth in 1795 for its high …

Himalayan leucogranites and migmatites: nature, timing and duration of anatexis

RF Weinberg - Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library

How does the mid-crust accommodate deformation in large, hot collisional orogens? A review of recent research in the Himalayan orogen

JM Cottle, KP Larson, DA Kellett - Journal of Structural Geology, 2015 - Elsevier
The presence of hot, weak crust is a central component of recent hypotheses that seek to
explain the evolution of continent-continent collisions, and in particular may play an …

20 years of geological mapping of the metamorphic core across Central and Eastern Himalayas

R Carosi, C Montomoli, S Iaccarino - Earth-Science Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
The largest crystalline unit representing the mid-crust in the Himalayan belt is the Greater

A review on out-of-sequence deformation in the Himalaya

S Mukherjee - Special Publications, 2015 - lyellcollection.org
Out-of-sequence deformation in the Himalaya has been caused mainly by thrusting. Out-of-
sequence thrusts, usually north-to NE-dipping foreshear planes, occur inside the Sub …
