Tectonic models of continental orogens seek to reconstruct the deformation processes associated with large-scale continental collision events. Geographically broad field surveys provide two spatial dimensions, and geochronology provides a third temporal dimension. The missing fourth dimension, most critical to understanding crustal evolution throughout collision, is the crustal thickening history of the orogen. Over the past few decades, however, accurate methods for estimating crustal thickness from the rock record have not fully emerged. Recently, indirect proxies for Moho depth have been developed using whole rock composition: trace element ratios Sr/Y, La/Yb, and Gd/Yb, and stable Nd isotopes. While these proxies can show changes in apparent depth based on transitions in whole-rock chemistry, these proxies are not immune to unconstrained effects on composition, including source melt composition and phase relations, or systematic changes in the intensive variables controlling the proxy. The application of an accurate and precise empirical thermobarometer to plutonic rocks can provide the depth of magma generation and assimilation, and thus the minimum depth of the Moho and thickness of the crust. The Gangdese batholith in southern Tibet, spanning ca. 200 Ma of pre- and syn-orogenic history, provides a continuous record of silicic magmatism associated with the subduction and collision history of southern Tibet. This work reconstructs whole-rock and zircon P-T-X-t histories of Gangdese granitoids spanning 225 Ma - 18 Ma from a transect of plutons 0 - 110km north of the Indus-Tsangpo Suture, the southern margin of Eurasia, near Lhasa, Tibet at 92ºE. I compare the utility of indirect geochemical proxies and thermobarometry, and discuss the relationship between the thermo-chemical histories of complex plutonic growth processes, and crustal thickening during orogenesis. High-resolution in-situ thermobarometry of quartz inclusions in zircon suggest rapid crustal thickening began ca. 25 Ma earlier than indicated by indirect isotopic and geochemical proxies. Pluton formation occurred throughout the lower three-quarters of the Tibetan Crust, representing a large zone of plutonic activity that weakened the lower crust and contributed significantly to total orogenic heat budget. These results provide constraints for geodynamic models of intracontinental deformation and reveal the limitations and utility of various barometers and pseudobarometers in granites.
