• A SYNTHESIS OF THE CHANNEL FLOW-EXTRUSION HYPOTHESIS AS DEVELOPED FOR THE HIMALAYAN-TIBETAN OROGENIC SYSTEM 

  Hodges K.V. (2006)

  Surface and subsurface geological features of the Himalayan - Tibetan orogenic system may be explained by three sets of processes: those related to plate convergence, those related to the gravitational spreading of a fluid ...
• TIMING, PETROGENESIS, AND SETTING OF PALEOZOIC SYNOROGENIC INTRUSIONS FROM THE ALTAI MOUNTAINS, NORTHWEST CHINA: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF AN ACCRETIONARY OROGEN 

  Wang T.; Hong D.W.; Jahn B.M.; Tong Y.; Wang Y.B.; Han B.F.; Wang X.X. (2006)

  The Altai Mountains are a key area for understanding the development of the Altai Tectonic Collage and accretionary orogen. However, the orogenic processes, particularly their early stage, have not been well understood. ...
• CRUSTAL FLOW IN TIBET: GEOPHYSICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE PHYSICAL STATE OF TIBETAN LITHOSPHERE, AND INFERRED PATTERNS OF ACTIVE FLOW 

  Klemperer S.L. (2006)

  Many seismic and magnetotelluric experiments within Tibet provide proxies for lithospheric temperature and lithology, and hence rheology. Most data have been collected between c. 88°E and 95°E in a corridor around the ...
• DID THE HIMALAYAN CRYSTALLINES EXTRUDE PARTIALLY MOLTEN FROM BENEATH THE TIBETAN PLATEAU? 

  Harrison T.M. (2006)

  The hypothesis that the Himalayan crystalline core originated by ductile channel flow of partially molten mid-crust from beneath the Tibetan Plateau is critically reviewed. The proposal that widespread shallow anatexis ...
• MIDDLE-LATE PERMIAN MASS EXTINCTION ON LAND 

  Retallack G.J.; Metzger C.A.; Greaver T.; Jahren A.H.; Smith R.M.H.; Sheldon N.D. (2006)

  The end-Permian mass extinction has been envisaged as the nadir of biodiversity decline due to increasing volcanic gas emissions over some 9 million years. We propose a different tempo and mechanism of extinction because ...
