Thesis
The structural, metamorphic and magmatic evolution of the Greater Himalayan Sequence and Main Central Thrust, Eastern Nepal Himalaya
- Abstract:
-
Field observations of the Greater Himalayan Sequence in Eastern Nepal demonstrate a ductile, highly strained package of metamorphic rocks that show extensive evidence of crustal anatexis throughout. These can be distinguished from the Lesser Himalayan sequence below by a distinct reduction in metamorphic grade, an inverted metamorphic sequence and a high strain zone corresponding to the Main Central Thrust. Metamorphic studies are combined with geochronology to demonstrate a protracted peri...
