Himalayan Leucogranites, December 2024, Vol. 20, No. 6
$20.00
Himalayan leucogranites crop out intermittently over 2000 km along the Himalayan crest in the Himalayan-Tibetan plateau. They constitute some of the most well-studied granites in the world. They are considered to be purely crustal-derived melts and indicators of collisional orogenesis, and have greatly improved our general understanding of crustal anatexis, differentiation of felsic magmas, and tectonic evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen.
Himalayan Leucogranites
December 2024, Vol. 20, No. 6
Himalayan leucogranites crop out intermittently over 2000 km along the Himalayan crest in the Himalayan-Tibetan plateau. They constitute some of the most well-studied granites in the world. They are considered to be purely crustal-derived melts and indicators of collisional orogenesis, and have greatly improved our general understanding of crustal anatexis, differentiation of felsic magmas, and tectonic evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen. They provide a rare opportunity to explore the feedback relationships among geodynamics, tectonics, and magmatism in a classic continental collisional context. In this issue, we will describe our current understanding of the petrogenesis and significance of the Himalayan leucogranites by focusing on their tectonic and geodynamic background, source rocks, petrology, geochemistry, and links to orogenesis and economic resources.
