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

该项目的第二阶段于9月进行。1989年至1990年1月，作为与特里布万大学成员的合作工作。该项目的主要目的是沿尼泊尔中部的Kali Gandaki河沿着绘制完整的地质剖面图。主要研究结果如下。1)通过对亚喜马拉雅带丘里亚群的调查，确定了Ramapithecuspanjabicus的层位为Chron（10 Ma）。研究区沉积盆地南移的构造极性与印度板块向欧亚板块的碰撞一致。2)在坦森地区研究了小喜马拉雅山脉，并分析了巴里加德断层的性质和成因。3)沿卡利-甘达基河对高喜马拉雅山脉进行了沿着勘测。在项目小组和特里布万大学的联合主持下，举行了关于尼泊尔喜马拉雅山脉地球动力学的第二次专题讨论会，随后进行了两次实地考察，并成功地取得了相互理解。

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.
