Late Cretaceous K-rich rhyolitic crystal tuffs from the Chuduoqu area in Eastern Qiangtang subterrane: evidence for crustal thickening of the central Tibetan Plateau prior to India–Asia collision
In order to constrain whether the Lhasa–Qiangtang collision contributed to an early crustal thickening of the central Tibetan Plateau prior to the...

High-elevation Tibetan Plateau before India–Eurasia collision recorded by triple oxygen isotopes
The timing and magnitude of the early Cenozoic surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau is controversial due to a scarcity of unaltered terrestrial...

Steep subduction of the Indian continental mantle lithosphere beneath the eastern Himalaya revealed by gravity anomalies
The geometry and deformation of the Indian continental mantle lithosphere (ICML) beneath the India-Eurasia collision zone are critical to...

Evidence for a pre-Himalayan metamorphism in the High Himalayan Crystalline of the Miyar Valley (NW India)
Most of the tectonic, metamorphic and geochronological data suggest that the Himalaya is essentially the consequence of a single orogenic cycle...
