Low temperature thermochronology in the Eastern Alps: Implications for structural and topographic evolution.

open access: yesTectonophysics, 2012
According to new apatite fission track, zircon- and apatite (U-Th)/He data, we constrain the near-surface history of the southeastern Tauern Window and adjacent Austrolapine units. The multi-system thermochronological data demonstrate that age-elevation correlations may lead to false implications about exhumation and cooling in the upper crust.

Pleistocene Accelerated Exhumation Within the Sumatran Fault: Implications for Late Cenozoic Evolution of Sumatra (Indonesia)

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The 1,900‐km‐long Sumatran fault plays an important role in accommodating oblique plate motion between the Indo‐Australian and Sunda plates. Although fault geometry, kinematics, and seismic activity are well‐studied, the onset of dextral motion on the ...

Constraining the long-term evolution of the slip rate for a major extensional fault system in the central Aegean, Greece, using thermochronology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The brittle/ductile transition is a major rheologic boundary in the crust yet little is known about how or if rates of tectonic processes are influenced by this boundary.

Illite K-Ar and (U-Th)/He low-temperature thermochronology reveal onset timing of Yadong-Gulu rift in southern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Determining the timing of E-W extension across the NS-trending rifts in southern Tibet is key to test the mechanical models of the latest evolution in the collision between India and Asia.

Low temperature thermochronology and strategies for multiple samples

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2006
We present a new approach for modelling geological thermal histories from thermochronological data in 2D and 3D. The method allows data from multiple samples to be modelled jointly, improving the resolution of the final solution, and reduces the potential for over interpreting the data.

Cenozoic tectonic evolution of southeastern Thailand derived from low-temperature thermochronology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Geological Society, 2019
Low-temperature thermochronological techniques, specifically apatite (U–Th)/He and apatite fission-track dating, were used to reconstruct the thermal history of southeastern Thailand. This area is intersected by vast and complex fault networks related to the Cenozoic Mae Ping and Three Pagodas Faults.

The daughter–parent plot: a tool for analyzing thermochronological data [PDF]

open access: yesGeochronology
Data plots of daughter against parent concentration (D–P plots) are a potential tool for analyzing low-temperature thermochronology, similar to isochron plots in radioisotopic geochronology.

The Process of Tectonic Inversion and Disintegration in the Dasanjiang Unified Basin, Northeast China: Constraint From Low-Temperature Thermochronology

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Dasanjiang basin group in Northeast China contains more than ten Mesozoic–Cenozoic sedimentary basins. Much evidence shows that they were a unified large-scale depression lacustrine basin in the Early Cretaceous; however, destruction processes and ...

Early Cenozoic denudation of central west Britain in response to transient and permanent uplift above a mantle plume [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Upwelling mantle plumes beneath continental crust are predicted to produce difficult to quantify, modest uplift and denudation. The contribution of permanent and transient components to the uplift is also difficult to distinguish.

Rapid Exhumation Processes of the Gaoligong Mountain Range in the Southeastern Margin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Since the Late Cenozoic

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Three continent-scale ductile shear zones trending N-S are distributed in the southeast margin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Their tectonic deformation and exhumation histories are of great significance to understanding the orogenic processes within the ...
