• The solid Earth’s influence on sea level (2013, background): “…106 km2 since the collision began at ca. 50 Ma. Recent estimates suggest that the majority of this shortening, associated with ~1000 km of shortening along the ~2500-km-long Tibetan-Himalayan orogeny, occurred during a second stage of collision beginning at ca. 25 Ma (van Hinsbergen et al., 2012).”
• The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “…the collision might have been asymmetric and more complex than previously assumed, involving two subduction zones: the collision started between 55 and 50Ma in the east and progressed westward until its finalization about 40Ma (Khan et al., 2009; van Hinsbergen et al., 2012; Bouilhol et al., 2013).”
• Assembly and division of the South and South-East Asian flora in relation to tectonics and climate change (2018, background): “The subsequent collision with Asia was most likely during the middle Eocene (Ali & Aitchinson 2008, Klaus et al. 2016) although older (Beck 1995, Rage et al. 1995) and younger (van Hinsbergen et al. 2012) collision ages have been proposed.”
