Beo v1.0: numerical model of heat flow and low-temperature thermochronology in hydrothermal systems [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2019
Low-temperature thermochronology can provide records of the thermal history of the upper crust and can be a valuable tool to quantify the history of hydrothermal systems.

Deciphering the formation period and geological implications of shale tectonic fractures: a mini review and forward-looking perspectives

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2023
In complex geological areas, the chronology of tectonic fracture formation is pivotal for the conservation and enhancement of shale gas reservoirs.

Low-temperature thermochronology and thermokinematic modeling of deformation, exhumation, and development of topography in the central Southern Alps, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He and fission track ages were obtained from ridge transects across the central Southern Alps, New Zealand. Interpretation of local profiles is difficult because relationships between ages and topography or local faults are ...

Turning the Orogenic Switch: Slab‐Reversal in the Eastern Alps Recorded by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Many convergent orogens, such as the eastern European Alps, display an asymmetric doubly vergent wedge geometry. In doubly vergent orogens, deepest exhumation occurs above the retro‐wedge.

From source to sink in central Gondwana: Exhumation of the Precambrian basement rocks of Tanzania and sediment accumulation in the adjacent Congo basin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Apatite fission track (AFT) and (U-Th)/He (AHe) thermochronometry data are reported and used to unravel the exhumation history of crystalline basement rocks from the elevated (>1000 m above sea level) but low-relief Tanzanian Craton.

Coupling Between Exhumation and Subduction: A Case Study From the Southern Great Xing'an Range, NE Asia

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The link between subduction and continental exhumation is explored using high‐resolution thermal histories from southern Great Xing'an Range (GXR), NE Asia and integrated with a regional low‐temperature thermochronology data synthesis from the NE Asian ...

Thermochronology of the modern Indus River bedload: New insight into the controls on the marine stratigraphic record [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Indus River is the only major drainage in the western Himalaya and delivers a long geological record of continental erosion to the Arabian Sea, which may be deciphered and used to reconstruct orogenic growth if the modern bedload can be related to ...

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Uplift/Exhumation History of the Qilian Shan, NE Tibetan Plateau: Constraints From Low-Temperature Thermochronology

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Qilian Shan, which is located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, plays a key role in understanding the dynamics of the outward and upward growth of the plateau. However, when and how tectonic deformation evolved into the geographic

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 ...

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 ...
