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 …
Timing of the collision between India and Asia is the key boundary condition in all models for the evolution of the Himalaya‐Tibetan orogenic system. Thus it profoundly affects the …
The petrology and timing of crustal melting has been investigated in the migmatites of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) exposed in Sikkim, India. The metapelites underwent …
Modern-style plate tectonics, often characterised by subduction, is a fundamental dynamic process for planet Earth. Subduction related eclogites are widely used to indicate initiation of …

Plane strain, thermal‐mechanical numerical models are used to examine the development of midcrustal channel flows in large hot orogens. In the models, radioactive self‐heating …
Migmatites are highly heterogeneous rocks found in high-grade metamorphic environments; they are commonly encountered in the continental crust. Until now, many geologists have …
The Triassic orogeny in North Tibet results from interactions between the South China, North China and Qiangtang (North Tibet) blocks during the closure of the Paleotethys ocean. It is …
Using the U-Pb geochronology of zircon we can understand the growth and collapse of mountain chains, both recent and ancient. In the high-temperature metamorphic rocks that …
