Improved Techniques to Map Continental Mantle Earthquakes to Study the Extent of Indian Li — NSF Award to Stanford University (CA,
Continental drift and plate tectonics lead to continental collisions. The collision process forms the Himalaya, Earth’s highest mountain range, and many mineral deposits including those in new copper mines under development in southern Tibet. Consequently, study of Earth’s only large active continental collision, betwe

| Abstract | Continental drift and plate tectonics lead to continental collisions. The collision process forms the Himalaya, Earth’s highest mountain range, and many mineral deposits including those in new copper mines under development in southern Tibet. Consequently, study of Earth’s only large active continental collision, between India and Asia, offers societally important outcomes. Understanding the geologic processes of continental collision allows better targeting of the mineral deposits needed to mai |
