Outline of Final Research Achievements

The HHC rapidly cooled downward after exposing (14.4-12Ma), and its nappe gradually cooled toward the north after termination of the emplacement (11.5-2Ma). Its emplacement rate is 3.5cm/y. The LHS beneath the hot HHC nappe had thermal imprint and also cooled toward the north at the same rate of the HHC nappe. The Tethys sediments cooled downward in proportion to structural distance from the MCT. HHC at the nappe front and underlying MCTzone have the same metamorphic phase and P/T condition (10kbar, 660℃+ & 8kbar, 600℃) of the HHC in the High Himalaya. Grantic melt was formed in the basal part of the HHC after release of H2O, CO2, B from the MCT zone by metamorphism. Depositional age of the Late Paleoproterozoic LHS was confirmed to be from 1900-1600Ma on the basis of U-Pb & Pb-Pb dating. Unconformity at 1800 Ma and provenance change at around 1700 Ma were found. Tectonic setting of igneous activity during1900-1850 Ma was estimated to be hot spot and rift system.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

世界最大の大陸衝突型山脈、ヒマラヤの形成プロセスとその形成メカニズムを解明する鍵となる、ヒマラヤの変成岩とそれが地上を広く覆った変成岩ナップの運動と熱史を解明する目的で研究を行った。その結果、ヒマラヤ山脈の形成過程は厚さ10kmを超える変成岩が地下約40kmから上昇を始め,地表に露出後も300℃以上の温度を保持したまま、年間3.5cmの速度で120km余り南方に押し出され、約1000万年前に運動を停止し、その後北方に冷却することで形成された。またナップによってカバーされたインド亜大陸の堆積物も、ナップの上に載った堆積物もナップの熱により300℃以上に達し、その後冷却したことを明らかにした。
