Lithospheric foundering and underthrusting imaged beneath Tibet

The timing and mechanism of uplift of the Tibetan plateau continues to be a source of debate. Here, the authors present a new tomographic model revealing a T-shaped high wave speed structure beneath South-Central Tibet and interpret this an upper-mantle remnant from lithospheric foundering.
