ABSTRACT Fission‐track (FT) analysis of detrital zircon from synorogenic sediment is a well‐established tool to examine the cooling and exhumation history convergent mountain belts, but has so far not been used determine long‐term evolution central Himalaya. This study presents FT 22 sandstone modern samples that were collected along three stratigraphic sections within Miocene Pliocene Siwalik Group, rivers, in western Nepal. The results provide evidence for widespread Nepalese Himalaya at...
ABSTRACT Thermochronological analysis of detrital sediments derived from the erosion mountain belts and contained in sedimentary basins surrounding them allows reconstructing long‐term exhumation history sediment source areas. The effective closure temperature thermochronological system analysed determines spatial temporal resolution through duration lag time between during its deposition basin. Here, we report apatite fission‐track (AFT) data 31 samples collected Miocene to Pliocene...

Abstract The Shillong Plateau (northeastern India) constitutes the only significant topography in Himalayan foreland. Knowledge of its surface uplift history is key to understanding topographic development and unraveling tectonic–climate–topographic coupling eastern Himalaya. We use sedimentary record foreland basin north show that paleo-Brahmaputra river was redirected west by rising plateau at 5.2–4.9 Ma. suggest onset a result increased fault-slip rates response stresses caused Indian...

ABSTRACT 40 Ar– 39 Ar dating of detrital white micas, petrography and heavy mineral analysis whole‐rock geochemistry has been applied to three time‐equivalent sections through the Siwalik Group molasse in SW Nepal [Tinau Khola section (12–6 Ma), Surai (12–1 Ma) Karnali (16–5 Ma)]. ages from 1415 single micas show a peak between 20 15 Ma for all sections, corresponding period most extensive exhumation Greater Himalaya. Lag times less than 5 Myr persist until 10 Ma, indicating Himalayan rates...
Abstract The Himalayan syntaxes, characterized by extreme rates of rock exhumation co-located with major trans-orogenic rivers, figure prominently in the debate on tectonic versus erosional forcing exhumation. Both mechanism and timing rapid Namche Barwa massif eastern syntaxis remain controversial. It has been argued that coupling between crustal advection surface erosion initiated late Miocene (8–10 Ma). Recent studies, contrast, suggest a Quaternary onset linked to purely mechanism. We...

Abstract Submarine channels of the Orinoco River were analyzed using high-quality, dense- coverage bathymetric and seismic data provided by a recent marine survey on southern Barbados prism. Analysis syntectonic sediments profiles shows that four to five frontmost structures show evidence tectonic movement. Slope analysis major was performed. From their headwaters domains little or no active tectonics, display <0.2% slope form levees. incision increase gradually in moderate but deep...
Abstract A multidisciplinary study was conducted on the section of Siwalik Group sediments, approximately 5000 m thick, exposed along Karnali River. Analysis facies, clay mineralogy and neodymium isotope compositions revealed significant changes in sedimentary record, allowing discussion their tectonic or climatic origin. Two major within fill were detected: change from a meandering to braided river system at ca 9.5 Ma deep sandy shallow 6.5 Ma. The 9.5‐Ma fluvial style is contemporaneous...
