A modern pulse of ultrafast exhumation and diachronous crustal melting in the Nanga Parbat Massif

Victor E. Guevara et al.

Summary: We used monazite petrochronology and thermal modeling to investigate the factors contributing to the rapid exhumation of the Nanga Parbat Massif in the western Himalayan syntaxis. Our results suggest that neither erosion nor crustal melting was the primary trigger for the accelerated exhumation observed in the region. Instead, larger-scale tectonic processes appear to be the main driver of the rapid exhumation in both the western and eastern Himalayan syntaxes.
