Interplay between oceanic subduction and continental collision in building continental crust
Generation of continental crust in collision zones reflect the interplay between oceanic subduction and continental collision. The Gangdese...

Intracontinental deformation of the Tianshan Orogen in response to India-Asia collision
How the continental lithosphere deforms far away from plate boundaries has been long debated. The Tianshan is a type-example of ongoing lithospheric...

Massive crustal carbon mobilization and emission driven by India underthrusting Asia
The active Himalayan-Tibetan orogen, where India underthrusts into Asia, is an important geological source of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission into...
-
Microcontinent subduction and S-type volcanism prior to India–Asia collision
Continental crust has long been considered too buoyant to be subducted beneath another continent, although geophysical evidence in collision zones...
-
India-Asia collision as a driver of atmospheric CO2 in the Cenozoic
Deep Earth degassing is a critical forcing factor for atmospheric CO 2 variations and palaeoclimate changes in Earth’s history. For the Cenozoic, the...

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...

Neogene continental faunas of India: recent advances
Tectonics, climate and ecology played a major role in sha** the Neogene faunal composition and overall biodiversity of south Asia today. This...
-
Three-dimensional kinematics of the India–Eurasia collision
The collision between India and Eurasia mobilizes multiple processes of continental tectonics. However, how deformation develops within the...

Existence of a continental-scale river system in eastern Tibet during the late Cretaceous–early Palaeogene
The establishment of continental-scale drainage systems on Earth is largely controlled by topography related to plate boundary deformation and...
-
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...

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...
-
Geodynamic models of Indian continental flat slab subduction with implications for the topography of the Himalaya-Tibet region
The slab structure and high elevation of the Himalaya-Tibet region and their underlying mechanisms have been widely discussed. Many studies interpret...

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...

Growth of continental crust in intra-oceanic and continental-margin arc systems: Analogs for Archean systems
Earth’s continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental...

Formation and Evolution of Sanjiang Collision Orogenic Belt
In terms of collision, Suess (Die Entstehung der Alpen. Wien (Braumüller), p 168, 1875) divided orogenic belts into Pacific type and Tethyan type...
-
Key geodynamic processes and driving forces of Tethyan evolution
Tethys tectonic system has experienced a long-term evolution history, including multiple Wilson cycles; thus, it is an ideal target for analyzing...
-
The gradual subduction-collision evolution model of Proto-South China Sea and its control on oil and gas
This study involved outcrop, drilling, seismic, gravity, and magnetic data to systematically document the geological records of the subduction...
-
Formation of the **gaze Metamorphic Sole under Tibetan continental lithosphere reveals generic characteristics of subduction initiation
Metamorphic soles found under allochthonous oceanic lithosphere, or ophiolites, are interpreted as derived from lower plate oceanic crust material...

High-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic intrusions in SE Tibet: implications for metasomatized lithospheric mantle beneath an active continental margin
High-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic suites are widespread and generally volumetrically small but provide key information on magmatic mantle-crust...
