Stratigraphic columns of three of the key foreland sections discussed in this paper, showing thickness, lithology and depositional ages. Chinji data are from Johnson et al. (1985), Jognidernagar data are from White et al. (2002), while Jawalamukhi data are from Najman et al. (2009). Note that the only well-studied section post-dating 8 Ma in the western Himalaya is at Jawalamukhi. None the sections extend older than 20 Ma meaning that they cannot be used to constrain changing erosion during the onset of rapid Greater Himalayan exhumation or the proposed intensification of the monsoon after ~ 24 Ma
