Did the Indo-Asian collision alone create the Tibetan plateau?
It is widely believed that the Tibetan plateau is a late Cenozoic feature produced by the Indo-Asian collision. However, because Tibet was the locus of continental accretion and subduction throughout…

Field mapping and geochronologic and thermobarometric analyses of the Gurla Mandhata area, in southwest Tibet, reveal major middle to late Miocene, east-west extension along a normal-fault system,…
Structural evolution and sequence of thrusting in the Tethyan fold-thrust belt and Indus-Yalu suture zone, southwest Tibet
Regional mapping of a north-south traverse from the India-Nepal-China border junction to Mount Kailas in southwest Tibet—combined with previously published geochronologic and stratigraphic data—is…
