Talk:Geology of the Himalayas

message: How about minerals? Are there any mining in the Himalayas? 83.248.178.169 (talk) 11:46, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Himalaya is around the Namche Barwa and the Nanga Parbat, Mindat.org doesn't have a lot locations there. Although Northern Pakistan  and Tibet  have some. But, geologists write the publications, and most geologists live in developed countries. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 18:03, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minerals 

message: Geology of the Himalayas (Geology of Nepal too) need some overhaul/ update. The backbone would be the review by Yin (2006), now it's the thesis by Dèzes (1999). The Himalayan orogen is a classic example of a continent-continent collision (Dewey and Bird, 1970; Dewey and Burke, 1973). The classic reviews are Wadia (1953), Gansser (1967) and Le Fort (1975).
*The central Himalayan orogen is covered by: Le Fort (1996), Hodges (2000), Johnson (2002), DeCelles et al. (2002), and Avouac (2003).
*The western Himalayan orogen is covered by: Searle et al. (1992), Thakur (1992), Steck (2003), and DiPietro and Poguue (2004).
*The eastern Himalayan orogen is covered by: Acharyya (1980), Singh and Chowdhary (1990), and Kumar (1997).
*Impact on the overall Indo-asian collision zone and evolution of great rivers in Asia: Patriat and Achache (1984), Dewey et al. (1989), Le Pichon et al. (1992), Brookfield (1998), Hallet and Molnar (2001), Clark et al. (2004).
*The Higher Himalaya is discontinuous and sometimes lower than the Lower Himalaya.
*The Greater Himalayan Crystalline Complex (GHC) has high-grade metamorphic rocks below the fossiliferous Tethyan Himalayan Sequence, but the basal parts of the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence (THS) in northern Nepal and south-central Tibet also exhibit up to amphibolite facies metamorphism (:File:Metamorphic_Facies.jpg & Metamorphism#Metamorphic grades).
*Following changes are proposed: 
**North Himalaya instead of Tethyan Himalaya or Tibetan Himalaya
**South Himalaya is divided in Higher, Lower and sub-Himalaya
**The Himalayan range is divided in Basal (<1,500 m), Middle (1,500-3,500 m), and Upper Himalaya (>3,500 m)
**The Himalayan orogen is divided in western (66°-81°), central (81°-89°), and eastern (89°-98°) segments
**The whole Precambrian and Phanerozoic sequence in the Himalayan region is the North Indian Sequence (NIS)

message: Please forgive me my possible ignorance but what, besides a writing style, is a 'syntaxis' in this context - the word is mentioned twice in the first couple of sentences and makes no sense - not a good start for an article. cheers Geopersona (talk) 19:17, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A very good point, and for a full year nobody's bothered to address it! I know a bit about geology myself, and have never come upon the word before. ^_^ 83.251.164.50 (talk) 02:59, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
