Synchronous sequential thrusting and extension-controlled exhumation of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline in the Bhagirathi Valley, NW Himalaya

Description

This thermochronological fission-track dataset was collected along the Bhagirathi Valley in the NW Himalaya, India. The data belongs to the part of the PhD work of Sanjeeb Behera and is an outcome of a Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) funded project. All analytical work was conducted at the National Facility for Low-Temperature Thermochronology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, Haryana, India. The dataset corresponds to the research article titled “Synchronous Sequential Thrusting and Extension-Controlled Exhumation of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline in the Bhagirathi Valley, NW Himalaya.” We employed 3D thermo-kinematic modeling to constrain exhumation patterns, controls, and fault parameters. This repository includes the forward and inverse modeling tables, relevant figures, and a compilation table of cooling ages. This supplementary materials are version 3.
