Tectonic evolution of the India-Asia suture zone since 40 Ma, Lopukangri area, south-central Tibet
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences
In this study, we document the evolution of the India-Asia suture zone in south-central Tibet (Lopukangri area). We found granites that crystallized at ∼38 Ma based on U–Pb zircon geochronology. This age is consistent with previous ages of young arc magmatism in the Gangdese belt. Conglomerates in the area are in buttress unconformity contact and show low grade metamorphism. Our 40Ar/39Ar ages indicate these rocks were exhumed at 19 Ma by a blind thrust, which is part of the Great Counter Thrust system. This was a short-lived system in this area because it was cut by a north-striking normal-oblique fault system at ~15 Ma.

Structural Evolution of the Neogene Gar Basin, Western Tibet: Implications for releasing bend development and drainage patterns
Geological Society of America Bulletin
This investigation looks into the development of releasing bends along a major kilometer-scale strike-slip fault in western Tibet, and how the drainage patterns (and therefore depositional patterns) changed during the bend development. We describe the interaction of R and P shears along the principal displacement zone to characterize their evolution and their influence in the development of the geomorphology of the releasing bend basin(s).
