Structural constraints on the exhumation of the Tso Morari Dome, NW Himalaya
… affinity. As one of only two localities in the Himalaya where ultrahigh-pressure rocks have been found, the culmination offers important insights into the orogenic processes responsible for exhumation of subducted continental crust. New, 1:50,000 scale geologic mapping and structural analysis in …

Metamorphic P-T Path and Multiple Fluid Events During Burial and Exhumation of the Tso Morari UHP Terrane, NW Himalaya
The Tso Morari terrane within the Himalayan orogenic belt underwent ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) coesite-eclogite metamorphism due to northward subduction of the Indian continent under the Eurasian continent during the early Eocene. In this study we optimized a best protocol for thermodynamically …

The role of extension during the evolution of the NW Indian Himalaya
… Related to the India-Eurasia collision, the Himalaya forms the southern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and constitutes the most prominent Cenozoic type example of a collisional orogen. While thrusting is presently observed along the foothills of the orogen, several generations of extensional …

Quantifying crystalline exhumation in the Himalaya
… most spectacular orogenic belt in the world: the Himalaya. The specific area investigated was the Kaghan Valley in Pakistan (NW Himalaya). Following closure of the Tethyan Ocean by ca. 55-50 Ma, the northward subduction of the leading edge of India beneath the Eurasian Plate and subsequent …

Tectonic and climatic control on the evolution of the Himalayan mountain front
… evolution of active mountain belts. The Himalayan mountain belt is one of the most significant Cenozoic collisional mountain belt, formed due to collision between northward-bound Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate during the last 55-50 Ma. Ongoing convergence of these two tectonic plates …
