Geochemistry of Waziristan Ophiolite Complex, Pakistan: Implications for Petrogenesis and Tectonic Setting

Raham Jalil et al.

Summary: The Waziristan ophiolite complex (WOC) is part of the paleo-suture zone between the Indo-Pakistan plate and the Afghan microplate. It mainly consists of serpentinized dunites and serpentinites, with crosscutting pyroxenites. The study reveals that the WOC peridotites underwent a high degree of melt extraction and subsequent geochemical depletion, resembling Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) forearc peridotites.

A Single Dras-Kohistan-Ladakh Arc Revealed by Volcaniclastic Records

Goran Andjic et al.

Summary: Despite the uncertainty surrounding the tectonic interpretations of arc remnants in the Himalayan orogen, this study provides new constraints on the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the Dras and Kohistan-Ladakh arcs. By examining the provenance results from volcaniclastic rocks, the study suggests a Late Jurassic to Paleocene tectonic connection between these units. It also proposes that the evolution of one convergent margin shifted from a primitive to a mature stage during the Late Cretaceous. These findings are important for reevaluating the competing scenarios of the Mesozoic evolution of the India-Eurasia convergent system.

Triple-stage India-Asia collision involving arc-continent collision and subsequent two-stage continent-continent collision

Jie Yuan et al.

Summary: The enigmatic geodynamic processes involved in the India-Asia collision have significant implications for the uplift and deformation of the Tibetan Plateau, as well as the changes in land-sea distribution pattern, monsoon arid environments, and biotic evolution in Central-Eastern Asia. However, the current geodynamic models show discrepancies in the understanding of the collision history. A new hypothesis suggests the existence of the North India Sea during a certain period, and the newly obtained paleomagnetic data further support this hypothesis and refine the collision process.

Lithospheric Deformation and Active Tectonics of the NW Himalayas, Hindukush, and Tibet

Ishtiaq A. K. Jadoon et al.

Summary: The Himalayan Mountain System (HMS) and the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are characterized by active mountain building processes, including continent-continent collision. Geological and geophysical data reveal shallow crustal deformation involving thrusting along the plateaus margins, normal faulting in the center, and strike-slip deformation with lateral movement of blocks. Seismic activity is concentrated along the margins of the orogen at depths up to approximately 20 km, except for the Hindukush and Pamir regions where seismicity extends to 300km depths.

Summary: The study of PGE geochemistry of mantle peridotites and Nd-isotope geochemistry of arc-related mafic rocks in the Indus Suture Zone (ISZ) in western Ladakh shows distinct characteristics indicating interaction between subduction zone tectonic settings and arc environments.
