Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, R, Rex, A, Norry, M

“…The Bhagirathi leucogranite forms a series of low-angle en echelon, lensoidal intrusions at the top of the High Himalayan slab in the central Himalaya of Garhwal, northern India. The Bhagirathi leucogranite is situated structurally above the kyanite and sillimanite gneisses of the Vaikrita Group which, in turn, overlie the north-dipping Main Central Thrust zone of inverted metamorphic isograds. …”

Mechanisms and timescales of felsic magma segregation, ascent and emplacement in the Himalaya by Scaillet, B, Searle, M

“…We combine field, petrological, geochemical and experimental observations to evaluate the timescales of compaction-driven and shear-assisted melt extraction and ascent in the Himalaya. The results show that melt migration via compaction and channelling is inescapable and operates on timescales of less than 1 million years and possibly as short as 0.1 million years. …”

Permutations of Rajput identity in the West Himalayas, c. 1790-1840 by Moran, A

“…<p>The sustained interaction of local elites and British administrators in the West Himalayas over the decades that surrounded the early colonial encounter (c. 1790-1840) saw the emergence of a distinctly new understanding of communal identity among the leaders of the region. …”

Plate velocity exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure eclogites in the Pakistan Himalaya by Parrish, R, Gough, S, Searle, M, Waters, D

“…Once entrained in the base of the crust, the eclogites followed a slower cooling history from 45 Ma, similar to the amphibolite facies gneisses of the Pakistan Himalaya. © 2006 Geological Society of America.…”
