Miocene northward expansion of the NE Tibetan Plateau via intracrustal underthrusting: insight from Cenozoic stratigraphy and provenance studies

The India–Eurasia collision and continued convergence caused significant uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and intracontinental deformation. However, how this convergence was accommodated at plateau margins remains debated, with two main models proposed: pure-shear thickening versus...
