“…An improved understanding of the thermal and structural history of the Mesozoic Eurasian plate margin will allow better insight into the initial boundary conditions (e.g. crustal thickness, structure and thermo-mechanical properties) for the development of the large and hot Tibetan-Himalaya orogen, and, therefore, also into the associated crustal deformation processes, such as the interpreted channel flow in the Miocene or eastward escape beneath the Tibetan plateau at present day (Beaumont, Jamieson, Nguyen, & Medvedev, 2004;Carosi, Montomoli, Iaccarino, & Visonà, 2018;Cottle, Larson, & Kellett, 2015;Godin, Grujic, Law, & Searle, 2006;Parsons et al, 2016;Searle, Law, & Jessup, 2006).…”
