Constraints on the evolution of Taranaki Fault from thermochronology and basin analysis: Implications for the Taranaki Fault play [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Taranaki Fault is the major structure defining the eastern margin of Taranaki Basin and marks the juxtaposition of basement with the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene succession in the basin.

Evolution of the Transantarctic Basin (Southern Gondwana): Insights From Quantitative Sandstone Petrography

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The deposition of the sandstone sedimentary succession of the Beacon Supergroup lasted more than 200 Myr (Devonian to Early Jurassic) in Victoria Land and nearby territories in the so‐called Transantarctic Basin, recording crucial events in the history of the Earth.

Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Taiwan mountain belt is composed of a Cenozoic slate belt (Hsuehshan Range units, HR, and Backbone Slates, BS) and of accreted polymetamorphic basement rocks (Tananao Complex, TC).

Eocene Tectonic Change in the South Pacific Caused Exhumation of the Transantarctic Mountains in Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Apatite fission‐track and (U‐Th)/He data indicate rapid exhumation of northern Victoria Land at 40–30 Ma, correlating with opening of Adare Trough at 43–28 Ma. Exhumation was greatest close to the Ross Sea, consistent with other regions of the Transantarctic Mountains.

The chronology and tectonic style of landscape evolution along the elevated Atlantic continental margin of South Africa resolved by joint apatite fission track and (U-Th-Sm)/He thermochronology [PDF]

open access: yes
Atlantic-type continental margins have long been considered “passive” tectonic settings throughout the entire postrift phase. Recent studies question the long-term stability of these margins and have shown that postrift uplift and reactivation of ...

The thermal history of the Western Irish onshore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present here a low-temperature thermochronological study that combines the apatite fission-track and (U + Th)/He dating methods with a pseudo-vertical sampling approach to generate continuous and well-constrained temperature–time histories from the ...

Electron Spin Resonance Thermochronometry Indicates Quaternary Activity of the Brenner Fault (Eastern Alps)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Brenner Fault is one of the most important normal faults in the Eastern Alps as it accommodates uplift and lateral extrusion of the Tauern Window. Consequently, understanding its kinematic history is important for studying the dynamics of the Eastern Alps, in particular the Tauern Window.

Miocene Subsidence and Surface Uplift of Southernmost Tibet Induced by Indian Subduction Dynamics

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
The Indus‐Yarlung suture of southernmost Tibet marks the initial collisional zone, the ongoing India‐Asia collision, and yet more than ~30 million years after the onset of collision, a thick detrital sedimentary unit was deposited just north of the ...

Reconnaissance thermochronology of southern Zealandia

open access: yesJournal of the Geological Society, 2015
We report new fission-track, (U–Th)/He and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages for minerals in surface, dredge and borehole cuttings samples from the southern South Island, Campbell Plateau and Chatham Rise regions of the Zealandia continent. Our results indicate that much of southern Zealandia underwent rapid
