TLDR
A detailed case history of the Indian plate tectonic evolution can be found in this paper, where the authors present a case study of the repeated rifting of Indian plate from surrounding Gondwana continents, its northward migration, and its collision first with the Kohistan-Ladakh Arc at the Indus Suture Zone, and then with Tibet at the Shyok-Tsangpo Suture.About:

The role of the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas
Adrien Favre,Martin Päckert,Steffen U. Pauls,Sonja C. Jähnig,Dieter Uhl,Ingo Michalak,Alexandra N. Muellner-Riehl +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the biological consequences of the uplift of the QTP would be best understood using a meta‐analysis approach, encompassing studies on a variety of organisms from diverse habitats (forests, meadows, rivers), and thermal belts (montane, subalpine, alpine, nival).

Outward-growth of the Tibetan Plateau during the Cenozoic: A review ☆
Chengshan Wang,Jingen Dai,Xixi Zhao,Xixi Zhao,Yalin Li,Stephan A. Graham,Dengfa He,Bo Ran,Jun Meng +8 more
TL;DR: The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) offers a key testing ground for evaluating models of collisional tectonics and holds important implications for processes ranging from global cooling to the onset of the Asian monsoon as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesozoic─Cenozoic geological evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and working tectonic hypotheses
Paul Kapp,Peter G. DeCelles +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the Triassic through Cenozoic geology of the central Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and presents their tectonic interpretations in a time series of schematic lithosphere-scale cross-sections and paleogeographic maps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic evolution of the Tethyan orogen: From subduction to collision
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen from the Carpathians to Indochina, focusing on the formation of porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposits, as being the most characteristic mineral deposit type formed during both subduction and collisional processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phanerozoic tin and tungsten mineralization—Tectonic controls on the distribution of enriched protoliths and heat sources for crustal melting
Rolf L. Romer,Uwe Kroner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of these belts is explained by a generic process, involving three independent steps as prerequisite for the development of deposits: (i) intense chemical weathering of sedimentary rocks on a stable continent resulting in the enrichment of Sn and W in the protoliths, (ii) sedimentary-followed by tectonic-accumulation of the enriched debris at continent margins, and (iii) heating of the voluminous sedimentary protoliss generating Sn and/or W enriched melts.

Oblique Stepwise Rise and Growth of the Tibet Plateau
Paul Tapponnier,Xu Zhiqin,Françoise Roger,Bertrand Meyer,N. Arnaud,Gérard Wittlinger,Yang Jingsui +6 more
TL;DR: Two end member models of how the high elevations in Tibet formed are (i) continuous thickening and widespread viscous flow of the crust and mantle of the entire plateau and (ii) time-dependent, localized shear between coherent lithospheric blocks.

Propagating extrusion tectonics in Asia: New insights from simple experiments with plasticine
TL;DR: In this paper, plane indentation experiments on unilaterally confined blocks of plasticine help us to understand finite intracontinental deformation and the evolution of strike-slip faulting in eastern Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Asian monsoons and phased uplift of the Himalaya–Tibetan plateau since Late Miocene times
TL;DR: The results of a numerical climate-model experiment support the argument that the stages in evolution of Asian monsoons are linked to phases of Himalaya–Tibetan plateau uplift and to Northern Hemisphere glaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mantle dynamics, uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, and the Indian Monsoon
TL;DR: For example, Hou et al. as mentioned in this paper show that a small increase in the mean elevation of the Tibetan Plateau of 1000 m or more in a few million years is required by abrupt tectonic and environmental changes in Asia and the Indian Ocean.

Mean seasonal and spatial variability in gauge‐corrected, global precipitation
TL;DR: In this article, a global climatology of mean monthly precipitation has been developed using traditional land-based gauge measurements and shipboard estimates, and a procedure for correcting gauge-induced biases is presented and used to remove systematic errors caused by wind, wetting on the interior walls of the gauge, and evaporation from the gauge.
