Geotraverse of Nepal Himalayas ( Phase II ) - Mountain Building by Continental Collision -

该项目的第二阶段是在 1989 年 9 月至 1990 年 1 月期间与特里布万大学成员合作进行的。该项目的主要目的是绘制尼泊尔中部卡利甘达基河沿岸的完整地质剖面图。主要结果总结如下。 1）对亚喜马拉雅带Churia群进行了测量，确定Ramapithecus panjabicus的层位为Chron（10 Ma）。沉积盆地南移的构造极性与印度板块与欧亚板块的碰撞相一致，在测区已得到很好的认识。 2）对小喜马拉雅山坦森地区进行了研究，并对巴里嘎德断层的性质和起源进行了分析。 3) 沿卡利-甘达基河对喜马拉雅山高地进行了测量。项目组与特里布万大学联合举办了第二届尼泊尔喜马拉雅山地球动力学研讨会及两次实地考察，成功取得了相互了解。

The second phase of the project was performed for the period of Sept. 1989 to Jan. 1990 as a collaborative work with the members of the Tribhuvan University. The main aim of the project is to make a complete geologic profile along the Kali Gandaki River in Central Nepal. The main results are summarized as follows. 1) The Churia Group in Sub Himalayan Belt was surveyed and the horizon of Ramapithecus panjabicus has been confirmed to be of Chron ( 10 Ma ). The tectonic polarity of southward migration of sedimentary basin, which is consistent with the collision of Indian plate against to Eurasian plate, has been recognized well in the surveyed area. 2) The Lesser Himalaya was studied in the Tansen area and nature and origin of the Bari Gad fault were analysed. 3) The Higher Himalaya was surveyed along the Kali-Gandaki River. The second symposium on the Geodynamics of the Nepal Himalayas followed with two field-excursions was held under joint auspices between the project team and Tribhuvan University and mutural understanding has been successfully obtained.
