TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the first geochemical traverse to integrate U-Pb ages and Hf data on single detrital zircons with bulk-rock Sm-Nd-Rb-Sr isotopic measurements across the breadth of the Himalayan orogen, in northwest India.

TL;DR: In this paper, trace-element and isotopic analyses from 4 two-mica granites that intrude both core and metasedimentary mantle of the North Himalayan antiform in southern Tibet provide evidence for protracted melting of the mid-crust during convergent tectonics.

TL;DR: In this article, the Sakya Dome of southern Tibet has been studied and two distinct suites of anatectic granites are identified, which carry contrasting implications for the tectonic evolution of the India-Asia collision zone.

TL;DR: In this article, petrochronologic methods applied here constrain a complex temporal and thermal deformation history, and demonstrate that inverted metamorphic sequences can preserve a rich record of the duration of progressive ductile evolution of the thrust.

TL;DR: The Ronda peridotite in the Betic Cordillera of southern Spain is a relic of the sub-orogenic lithospheric mantle that was exhumed during earliest Miocene time from about 66 km depth.
