Low-temperature thermochronology applied to ancient settings

Journal of Geodynamics, 2016
Abstract Low-temperature thermochronometric dating techniques are commonly used to reveal and quantify the spatial and temporal pattern of cooling and exhumation in many active mountain belts. These methods illuminate the relationship between rock exhumation, and the processes that bring rock to the surface, including climate-driven surface processes.

AusGeochem and Big Data Analytics in Low-Temperature Thermochronology

2021
<p>The AuScope Geochemistry Network (AGN) and partners Lithodat Pty Ltd are developing AusGeochem, a novel cloud-based platform for Australian-produced geochemistry data from around the globe. The open platform will allow laboratories to upload, archive, disseminate and publish their datasets, as well as perform statistical analyses and ...

Diachronous exhumation of the Carpathians from low-temperature thermochronology

2021
<p>The Carpathians fold-and-thrust belt results from oblique collision of ALCAPA and Tisza-Dacia plates with the eastern European margin. It formed during the Oligocene and Miocene, propagating laterally from NW to SE as clearly demonstrated by balanced-cross sections (Nakapelyukh et al., 2017; Castellucio et al., 2016; Merten et al ...

Onset of Carnegie Ridge subduction from low-temperature thermochronology

2021
<p>Cenozoic growth of the Andes has been strongly influenced by subduction dynamics, inherited crustal heterogeneities, and the superposed effects of climate. Subduction of the Carnegie Ridge in Ecuador has impacted late Cenozoic magmatism and tectonic activity, including the formation of a crustal sliver escaping northward.

Reconstruction of palaeotopography from low-temperature thermochronological data

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2009
Abstract Thermochronology can provide information on palaeotopography and its evolution. We present a new method to reconstruct the shape of the palaeotopography from the palaeoisotherm derived from low-temperature thermochronological data.

Maturity of central Madagascar's landscape — Low-temperature thermochronological constraints

Gondwana Research, 2012
Abstract Low-temperature thermochronological data from two profiles across central Madagascar give apatite fission track and apatite (U–Th)/He ages ranging between 258 Ma and 176 Ma and from 239 Ma to 48 Ma, respectively. Thermal models derived from these data, as well as modelling of basement denudation and the sedimentary record, indicate that ...

Application of Low-Temperature Thermochronology to Craton Evolution

2018
The view that cratons are tectonically and geomorphologically inert continental fragments is at odds with a growing body of evidence partly based on low-temperature thermochronology (LTT) studies. These suggest that large areas of cratons may have undergone discrete episodes of regional-scale Neoproterozoic and/or Phanerozoic heating, and cooling from ...

Low-temperature thermochronology of fault zones

2020
<p>Thermal signatures as well as timing of fault motions can be constrained by thermochronological analyses of fault-zone rocks (e.g., Tagami, 2012, 2019).  Fault-zone materials suitable for such analyses are produced by tectocic and geochemical processes, such as (1) mechanical fragmentation of host rocks, grain ...
