Abstract
The Nanga Parbat Massif is located in northwestern Pakistan and occurs in the interior of the western syntaxis of the Himalaya. Recent studies have shown that the massif exposes an active metamorphic anomaly developed in Indian-Plate rocks exhumed from beneath and surrounded by rocks of the Kohistan/Ladakh island-arc. Geochemical and geophysical data from Nanga Parbat show that an active hydrothermal system exists within the massif. In the upper 5 to 6 kilometers of the crust, above a shallow brittle/ductile transition constrained by microseismic data, there is a shallow hydrothermal system with meteoric fluids channelized along active fault zones. In contrast, below the brittle/ductile transition fluids are metamorphic in origin and restricted to unconnected packets along grain boundaries.
