Underplating in the Himalaya-Tibet Collision Zone Revealed by the Hi-CLIMB Experiment

We studied the formation of the Himalayan mountain range and the Tibetan Plateau by investigating their lithospheric structure. Using an 800-kilometer-long, densely spaced seismic array, we have constructed an image of the crust and upper mantle beneath the Himalayas and the southern Tibetan Plateau...
