Tectonometamorphic Evolution of the Greater Himalayan Sequence of Bhutan

9705855 Hollister喜马拉雅山脉长期以来一直被认为是大陆与大陆碰撞的一个例子，尽管存在各种后勤和政治问题，但仍得到了大量的研究。很明显，沿着喜马拉雅山脉的趋势，印度与亚洲碰撞的表现是不同的。这项研究是不丹王国的一个国际项目的一部分，喜马拉雅山脉东部的一些证据表明，不丹喜马拉雅山脉的高结晶向南挤压，成为一种热韧性的渗透流动物质，覆盖在较冷的岩石上，冷却得足够快，可以在变质反应中保持温度反转。这项工作包括对在主要的中央逆冲带和其他变形带附近收集的样品进行广泛的热气压测量。研究结果有望有助于理解这种大陆-大陆碰撞中高水平韧性挤压的过程。

9705855 Hollister The Himalaya has long been recognized as an example of continent-continent collision, and has received considerable study despite various logistical and political problems. It is apparent that manifestation of the collision of India with Asia are different along the trend of the Himalayas. This study is part of an international project in the Kingdom at Bhutan, eastern Himalayas where some evidence indicates that the Higher Himalayan crystallines of Bhutan extruded south as a hot ductile penetratively flowing mass over cooler rocks and cooled rapidly enough to preserve temperature inversions in metamorphic reactions. The work involves extensive thermobarometry on samples collected near the main central thrust and other deformation zones. Results are expected to contribute to understanding of the processes of high-level ductile extrusion in such continent-continent collisions.
