  Calcite Dissolution-Reprecipitation Reactions Are a Key Control on the Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca and δ^88/86Sr Compositions of Himalayan River Waters
  Emily I. StevensonKevin W. BurtonIan J. ParkinsonRachael H. JamesBasak KisakürekEd TipperMichael Bickle

  The increase in Sr/Ca ratios of Himalayan rivers is modelled by balanced dissolution-precipitation reactions. The stable Sr-isotopic compositions and Sr/Ca ratios of waters constrain the carbonate reprecipitation rates.

  Mesozoic–Cenozoic Geological Evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen and Working Tectonic Hypotheses
  Paul KappPeter G. DeCelles

  The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India – Asia collision, but its geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous ocean closure and intercontinental suturing...

  The Tectonics and Paleo-Drainage of the Easternmost Himalaya (Arunachal Pradesh, India) Recorded in the Siwalik Rocks of the Foreland Basin
  Gwladys GovinYani NajmanGuillaume Dupont-NivetIan MillarPeter van der BeekPascale HuyghePaul O'SullivanChris MarkNatalie Vögeli

  The Siwalik sedimentary rocks of the Himalayan foreland basin preserve a record of Himalayan orogenesis, paleo-drainage evolution, and erosion. This study focuses on the still poorly studied easternmost Himalaya Siwalik...

  Multiple Mantle Sources of the Early Permian Panjal Traps, Kashmir, India
  J. Gregory ShellnuttGhulam M. BhatKuo-Lung WangMeng-Wan YehMichael E. BrookfieldBor-ming Jahn

  The Early Permian Panjal Traps of northern India are the volcanic remnants of continental rifting that led to the formation of the Neotethys Ocean and the ribbon-like continent Cimmeria. The...

  On Discrimination Between Carbonate and Silicate Inputs to Himalayan Rivers
  Mike J. BickleEd TipperAlbert GalyHazel ChapmanNigel Harris

  We review new and published analyses of river waters, bedloads and their constituent minerals from the Dhauli Ganga and Alaknanda, headwaters of the Ganges in Garhwal, and the Marsyandi in...

  Controls on the Spatial Variability of Modern Meteoric δ¹⁸O: Empirical Constraints From the Western U.S. and East Asia and Implications for Stable Isotope Studies
  Alex R. LechlerNathan A. Niemi

  We analyze a dataset of multiannual modern precipitation and meteoric water records from the western U.S. (n = 206) and east Asia (n = 478) to (1) determine which environmental...
