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.

TECTONOTHERMAL EVOLUTION OF THE ZAGAN METAMORPHIC CORE COMPLEX IN TRANSBAIKALIA AS A RESULT OF THE CRETACEOUS – PALEOCENE MONGOL-OKHOTSK POST-COLLISIONAL OROGEN DESTRUCTION

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2023
Thermochronological reconstructions of the Zagan metamorphic core complex were carried out using samples from the central part of the core, mylonite zone detachment and lower nappe with U/Pb zircon dating, 40Ar/39Ar amphibole and mica dating, and apatite

Technical note: Rapid phase identification of apatite and zircon grains for geochronology using X-ray micro-computed tomography [PDF]

open access: yesGeochronology, 2022
Apatite and zircon are among the best-studied and most widely used accessory minerals for geochronology and thermochronology. Given that apatite and zircon are often present in the same lithologies, distinguishing the two phases in crushed mineral ...

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 ...

Climate as the Great Equalizer of Continental‐Scale Erosion

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Central Asia hosts the most extensive and highest topography on Earth, which is the result of the feedbacks among rock uplift, atmospheric circulation and moisture transport, and erosion.

Rates of erosion and landscape change along the Blue Ridge escarpment, southern Appalachian Mountains, estimated from in situ cosmogenic 10Be [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Blue Ridge escarpment, located within the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina, forms a distinct, steep boundary between the lower-elevation Piedmont and higher-elevation Blue Ridge physiographic provinces.

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.

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.

Heated Topics in Thermochronology and Paths towards Resolution [PDF]

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Thermochronometry is widely used to track exhumation, the motion of rock towards Earth’s surface, and to gain fresh insights into geodynamic and geomorphic processes. Applications require models to reconstruct a rock’s cooling history as it is exhumed from higher temperatures at depth within the crust to cooler shallower levels and eventually Earth’s ...

Stratigraphic landscape analysis, thermochronology and the episodic development of elevated, passive continental margins [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2013
The continental margin of West Greenland is similar in many respects to other elevated, passive continental margins (EPCMs) around the world. These margins are characterised by extensive regions of low relief at elevations of 1–2 kilometres above sea ...
