Abstract The Central China Orogenic Belt (CCOB) comprises, from the east to the west, the
Tongbai-Dabie, Qinling, Qilian and Kunlun Orogens, and preserves abundant and important …

As the largest depression in the Tibetan plateau, the Qaidam basin preserves over 10 km
thick of Cenozoic sediments. Those sediments represent a unique archive of the evolution of …

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 …

Abstract The India‐Eurasia collision zone is the largest deforming region on the planet;
direct measurements of present‐day deformation from Global Positioning System (GPS) …

The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for
evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes …

The appearance of detritus shed from mountain ranges along the northern margin of the
Tibetan Plateau heralds the Cenozoic development of high topography. Current estimates of …

Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two
emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet …

Abstract The Qilian Shan, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, has
experienced multiple episodes of tectonic deformation, including Neoproterozoic continental …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

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 …
