Anomalously old biotite 40Ar/39Ar ages in the NW Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Biotite 40Ar/39Ar ages older than corresponding muscovite 40Ar/39Ar ages, contrary to the diffusion properties of these minerals, are common in the Himalaya and other metamorphic regions.

Fault Slip and Exhumation History of the Willard Thrust Sheet, Sevier Fold‐Thrust Belt, Utah: Relations to Wedge Propagation, Hinterland Uplift, and Foreland Basin Sedimentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Zircon (U‐Th)/He (ZHe) and zircon fission track thermochronometric data for 47 samples spanning the areally extensive Willard thrust sheet within the western part of the Sevier fold‐thrust belt record enhanced cooling and exhumation during major thrust ...

Eocene Origin of Owens Valley, California

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Bedrock (U-Th)/He data reveal an Eocene exhumation difference greater than four kilometers athwart Owens Valley, California near the Alabama Hills. This difference is localized at the eastern fault-bound edge of the valley between the Owens Valley Fault ...

Late Cenozoic Tectonic Evolution of the Western Nepal Himalaya: Insights from Low-Temperature Thermochronology [PDF]

open access: yesLithosphere
In the central Himalaya, an abrupt physiographic transition at the foot of the Greater Himalaya (PT2) marks the southern edge of a zone of rapid rock uplift along a ramp in the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT).

Apatite fission track dating of the Beypazarı Granitoid: insight for the inception of collision along the Northern Neotethys, Turkey

open access: yesGeodinamica Acta, 2020
The Beypazarı Granitoid is an arc-related intrusion in the Central Pontides, Turkey. This study presents apatite fission track (AFT) ages of the intrusion to shed some light on collision-related cooling/exhumation history of the central Pontides. The AFT

Tectonic denudation and topographic development in the Spanish Sierra Nevada [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The denudation history of the rapidly uplifting western part of the Spanish Sierra Nevada was assessed using apatite fission track (AFT) ages and 10Be analyses of bedrock and fluvial sediments.

Neon diffusion kinetics and implications for cosmogenic neon paleothermometry in feldspars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Observations of cosmogenic neon concentrations in feldspars can potentially be used to constrain the surface exposure duration or surface temperature history of geologic samples.

Detrital zircon and apatite (U‐Th)/He geochronology of intercalated baked sediments: a new approach to dating young basalt flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Simple numerical models suggest that many basaltic lava flows should sufficiently heat the sediments beneath them to reset (U‐Th)/He systematics in detrital zircon and apatite.

Late Cenozoic Denudation and Topographic Evolution History of the Lhasa River Drainage in Southern Tibetan Plateau: Insights From Inverse Thermal History Modeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The interaction of surface erosion (e.g., fluvial incision) and tectonic uplift shapes the landform in the Tibetan Plateau. The Lhasa River flows toward the southwest across the central Gangdese Mountains in the southern Tibetan Plateau, characterized by

Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.
