Geothermometry of the Granitoids of Eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya, India

The granitoids of eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya show a metamorphic history extending from the Precambrian to Tertiary. The granitisation and formation of the granitoids within the Higher Himalaya were related to an early metamorphism (M₁) that took place during Precambrian. Temperatures of the granitoids of eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya are estimated based on co-existing feldspar pairs, alkali feldspar-muscovite geothermometer and Ti content in micas and are found to be in conformity with temperatures prevailing in the upper amphibolite facies.
