Himalayan Tectonics - An introduction by Searle, M, Treloar, P

PLATE-TECTONICS - THE RISE AND FALL OF TIBET by Searle, M

Structural and tectonic development of the Indo-Burma Ranges by Morley, C, Naing, T, Searle, M, Robinson, S

“…The late deformation events, sedimentary depocentres, and impinging thick crustal regions of the eastern Himalayas and Shillong Plateau, have all affected the overall shape (wedge taper) of the modern IBR, with the wedge and retro-wedge behaving anomalously compared with typical accretionary prisms. All tectonic models proposed for the IBR/WBT have weaknesses or ambiguities, and there is considerable scope for future research to resolve the many outstanding, tectonic, metamorphic, structural, and sedimentary issues. …”

Age, depositional history and tectonics of the Indo-Myanmar Ranges, Myanmar by Naing, TT, Robinson, S, Searle, M, Morley, C, Millar, I, Green, O, Bown, P, Danelian, T, Petrizzo, M-R, Henderson, G

“…The Indo-Myanmar Ranges make up an enigmatic mountain belt occupying a complex tectonic zone in western Myanmar, extending from the northern continuation of the active Sunda–Andaman arc into the eastern Himalayan Syntaxis. …”

The tectonic and metallogenic framework of Myanmar: A Tethyan mineral system by Gardiner, N, Robb, L, Morley, C, Searle, M, Cawood, P, Whitehouse, M, Kirkland, C, Roberts, N, Myint, T

“…We present new zircon U-Pb age data related to several styles of mineralization within Myanmar. We outline a tectonic model for Myanmar from the Late Cretaceous onwards, and document nine major mineralization styles representing a range of commodities found within the country. …”

Tectonic significance of 24 Ma crustal melting in the eastern Hindu Kush, Pakistan by Hildebrand, P, Noble, SR, Searle, M, Parrish, R

Structure, metamorphism, and tectonics of the northern Oman-UAE ophiolite and underlying metamorphic sole by Ambrose, T

“…Three distinct problems are addressed. (1) Recent research has proposed that the architecture and tectonic evolution of the ophiolite in the UAE differs from in Oman. …”

Transpressional tectonics along the Karakoram fault zone, northern Ladakh: constraints on Tibetan extrusion by Searle, M, Weinberg, R, Dunlap, W

“…This paper is part of the special publication Continental transpressional and transtensional tectonics (eds R.E. Holdsworth, R.A. Strachan and J.F. …”

Crustal stacking and expulsion tectonics during continental subduction: P-T deformation constraints from Oman by Agard, P, Searle, M, Alsop, G, Dubacq, B

“…The northeastern continental margin of Oman in the Saih Hatat region is characterized by high-pressure (HP) chloritoid- or carpholite-bearing metasediments and highly deformed mafic eclogites and blueschists in a series of tectonic units bounded by high-strain ductile shear zones. …”

The tectonic evolution of the Kohistan-Karakoram collision belt along the Karakoram Highway transect, north Pakistan by Searle, M, Khan, M, Fraser, J, Gough, S, Jan, M

Geochronology of granulitized eclogite from the Ama Drime Massif: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the South Tibetan Himalaya by Cottle, J, Jessup, M, Newell, D, Horstwood, M, Noble, SR, Parrish, R, Waters, D, Searle, M

“…A detailed U(-Th)-Pb geochronologic study of granulitized mafic eclogites and associated rocks from the footwall of the ADM yields important insights into the middle to late Miocene tectonic evolution of the Himalayan orogen. The mafic igneous precursor to the granulitized eclogites is 986.6 ± 1.8 Ma and was intruded into the paleoproterozoic (1799 ± 9 Ma) Ama Drime orthogneiss, the latter being similar in age to rocks previously assigned to the Lesser Himalayan Series in the Himalayan foreland. …”
