Abstract
⺠Deformation temperatures in the STDS footwall are estimated using quartz fabric opening angles. ⺠Results are described from three sampling transects on the north side of Mount Everest. ⺠Linear apparent thermal gradients of 370-420 °C per km are recorded at 0-500 m beneath the STDS. ⺠Models for this extreme telescoping of isotherms are discussed. ⺠Telescoping increases towards the south and may indicate dip-slip of 25-170 km on the STDS.
