Stratigraphy, structure, and tectonic evolution of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt in western Nepal
- P. Decelles, D. Robinson, +4 authors B. N. Upreti
- Geology
- 1 August 2001
Regional mapping, stratigraphic study, and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology provide the basis for an incremental restoration of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt in western Nepal. Tectonostratigraphic zonation… Expand
Neogene foreland basin deposits, erosional unroofing, and the kinematic history of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt, western Nepal

- Geology
- 1998
Sedimentological and provenance data from the lower Miocene–Pliocene Dumri Formation and Siwalik Group in western Nepal provide new information about the timing of thrust faulting and the links… Expand
An overview of the stratigraphy and tectonics of the Nepal Himalaya
- B. N. Upreti
- Geology
- 1 October 1999
Abstract Nepal can be divided into the following five east–west trending major tectonic zones. (i) The Terai Tectonic Zone which consists of over one km of Recent alluvium concealing the Churia Group… Expand
Geochronologic and thermobarometric constraints on the evolution of the Main Central Thrust, central Nepal Himalaya
- E. Catlos, T. Harrison, +4 authors B. N. Upreti
- Geology
- 10 August 2001
The Main Central Thrust (MCT) juxtaposes the high-grade Greater Himalayan Crystallines over the lower-grade Lesser Himalaya Formation; an apparent inverted metamorphic sequence characterizes the… Expand

The bigger they are, the harder they fall The magnitude 7.8 Gorkha earthquake hit Nepal on 25 April 2015. The earthquake killed thousands and caused great damage. Galetzka et al. determined how the… Expand
Five generations of monazite in Langtang gneisses: implications for chronology of the Himalayan metamorphic core
- M. J. Kohn, M. S. Wieland, C. Parkinson, B. N. Upreti
- Geology
- 1 May 2004
Monazite grains from Greater Himalayan Sequence gneisses, Langtang valley, Nepal, were chemically mapped and then dated in situ via Th-Pb ion-microprobe analysis. Correlation of ages and chemistry… Expand

- Geology
- 15 December 2004
Abstract Combination of geochemical zoning in metamorphic garnet and monazite plus in situ Th–Pb isotopic dating of monazite yields P – T conditions, ages and convergence rates for the Main Central… Expand

- G. Gehrels, P. Decelles, T. P. Ojha, B. N. Upreti
- Geology
- 2006
The Kathmandu thrust sheet consists of Upper Proterozoic through mid-Paleozoic rocks that were emplaced over Lesser Himalayan strata (part of India's cratonal cover) during middle to late Tertiary… Expand

Abstract In situ Th–Pb monazite ages from rocks collected along two transects (the Dudh Kosi-Everest, eastern Nepal and the Bhagirathi River, Garhwal Himalaya, India) perpendicular to the Main… Expand
Crustal generation of the Himalayan leucogranites
Abstract Detailed studies of the Himalayan two-mica leucogranites, such as the Manaslu pluton, indicate that they have very uniform mineralogical, petrological and structural characteristics. One can… Expand
