Lower Crust Foundering Lifted Southern Tibet Paleocene

Lower Crust Foundering Lifted Southern Tibet Paleocene

In a groundbreaking study published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers Guo, Yang, Xu, and their colleagues have uncovered compelling evidence that the uplift of southern Tibet during the Paleocene epoch was primarily driven by a process known as lower crustal foundering. This revelation sheds new light on the geodynamic processes that shaped one of Earth’s most iconic and enigmatic mountainous regions, offering profound insights …
