The collisional Himalayan orogen is commonly presented as largely laterally uniform from the NW-to NE-Himalaya, with almost similar geological and tectonic settings. Despite active continuous convergence and precipitation since many million years in the Himalaya, thermochronological/cooling age pattern, uplift and exhumation rates vary in different parts of NWand NE-Himalaya as a function of structural positions such as dome/window/synform, klippen/nappe structures and thrusting/back-thrusting along different major faults. These surface structures appear to reflect the geometry and kinematics of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) and duplex structures formed over the ramp of the MHT. These observations suggest that in this tectonically-active setting characterized by steep topography and intense storms, thermochronological/cooling age pattern and exhumation patterns do not mirror precipitation gradients or drive deformation on million-year timescales. Rather, exhumation patterns are controlled by local tectonics that is dictated by the subsurface geometry of the MHT and its associated structures. He has guided 08 dissertations and 09 Ph.Ds.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
