A trio of researchers has found evidence to propose that a very large gorge in an eastern fraction of the Himalayas is moving slowly northward due to pressure from tectonic lift. In their paper published in the journal Science, Georgina King and Frédéric Herman with the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and Benny Guralnik with Wageningen University in The Netherlands recount how they used a new type of technology to measure the age of minerals beneath the surface in the area to determine how rapidly rock has been moving toward the surface.
