The Ibar Basin was formed during Miocene large scale extension in the NE Dinaride segment of the Alpine- Carpathian-Dinaride system. The Miocene extension led to exhumation of deep seated core-complexes (e.g.

The Mesozoic along-strike tectono-metamorphic segmentation of Longmen Shan (eastern Tibetan plateau) [PDF]
The Longmen Shan belt (eastern border of the Tibetan plateau) constitutes a tectonically active region as demonstrated by the occurrence of the unexpected 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan and 2013 Mw 6.6 Lushan earthquakes in the central and southern parts of the ...

Extensional faulting on Tinos island, Aegean sea, Greece: How many detachments? [PDF]
Zircon and apatite fission track (ZFT and AFT) and (U-Th)/He, 40Ar/39Ar hornblende, and U-Pb zircon ages from the granites of Tinos Island in the Aegean Sea, Greece, suggest, together with published ZFT data, that there are three extensional detachments ...

Rapid Exhumation of Earth's Youngest Exposed Granites Driven by Subduction of an Oceanic Arc
Exhumation of plutonic systems is driven by a range of mechanisms including isostatic, tectonic, and erosional processes. Variable rates of plutonic exhumation in active subduction systems may be driven by idiosyncrasies of regional geology or by first ...

Strong tectonic and weak climatic control on exhumation rates in the Venezuelan Andes [PDF]
International audienceWe studied the relationships among present-day relief, precipitation, stream power, seismic energy, seismic strain rate, and long-term exhumation rates for the Venezuelan Andes. Average long-term exhumation rates were determined for

Low-temperature thermochronology and its geological significance in the central-northern section of the western margin of the Ordos Basin [PDF]
The study of low-temperature thermochronology at plate edges provides favourable constraints for regional tectonic evolution and surface processes. Based on the existing thermochronological data of multiple cooling events since the Mesozoic era, we ...

Thermal imprint of rift-related processes in orogens as recorded in the Pyrenees [PDF]
International audience19 The extent to which heat recorded in orogens reflects thermal conditions inherited from 20 previous rift-related processes is still debated and poorly documented.

Incorporating 3-D parent nuclide zonation for apatite ^4He/^3He thermochronometry: An example from the Appalachian Mountains [PDF]
The ability to constrain km-scale exhumation with apatite ^4He/^3He thermochronometry is well established and the technique has been applied to a range of tectonic and geomorphic problems.
