Detailed structural and petrologic studies are proposed in                 several transects across the Nepalese Himalayas to further under-               stand the Eocene collision between India and Asia.  Specifically,               thermobarometry and Ar-Ar and U-Pb geochronology will be used to                constrain the P-T-time paths for these rocks. Analyses of heat-                 producing elements will be carried out on selected samples to                   evaluate the thermal evolution of these rocks and to evaluate                   partial melting of the underthrust Indian plate (to determine                   origin of the associated granites).  Structural work will assess                basement-involved thrusting.  The goal is to improve knowledge of               the relative importance of various tectonic processes in the                    thermal evolution of collisional orogenic belts.  Collaborative                 arrangements have been made with Nepalese (Dr. Upreti), French                  (Dr. LeFort), and others (e.g. Drs. Parrish, Harrison) from N.                  America.
