Abstract Rare bedrock exposures of the eastern Denali fault zone in southwestern Yukon allow for the measurement, sampling, and analyses of brittle regime fault slip data and deformation mechanisms to explore relations to far field, oblique plate motions.

Observation of centimetre-scale argon diffusion in alkali feldspars: implications for 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology [PDF]
New data from a gem-quality feldspar from Itrongay, Madagascar, record naturally occurring 40Ar/39Ar age profiles which can be numerically modelled by invoking a single diffusion mechanism and show that microtexturally simple crystals are capable of ...

Dating the youngest deformation in the Alps with ESR thermochronometry
Low-temperature thermochronology is a useful tool to reconstruct tectonic deformation and landscape evolution within the first 2 km of the crust. It is a suitable tool to investigate deformation associated with cooling and exhumation of the lower crust in orogenic settings.

Abstract The NE Tibet experienced complex and distinct basin developments and uplifts in different areas. However, the reasons for such distinct surface deformation and their relationship to deep crustal geodynamic processes are not well understood.

Plio-Quaternary exhumation history of the central Nepalese Himalaya: 1. Apatite and zircon fission track and apatite [U-Th]/He analyses [PDF]
New apatite and zircon fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses serve to document the bedrock cooling history of the central Nepalese Himalaya near the Annapurna Range.

When Does the Concavity Index Constrain Stream Power Parameters?
Abstract By defining the attributes of river networks, we can quantitatively extract records of climatic and tectonic changes from them. The stream power incision model (SPIM) provides a framework within which this can be achieved, as it facilitates the calculation of the relative rock uplift from river characteristics.

Constraints on the Timing of Exhumation in the Colorado Front Range using Apatite and Zircon (U-Th)/He Thermochronometry [PDF]
Despite the prominence of the Rocky Mountains, questions remain about the timing and character of the most recent mountain building event in the Colorado Front Range, the Laramide Orogeny. This history can be investigated using (U-Th)/He thermochronology,

Extensional faulting on Tinos island, Aegean sea, Greece: How many detachments? [PDF]
Zircon and apatite fission track (ZFT and AFT) and (U-Th)/He, 40Ar/39Ar hornblende, and U-Pb zircon ages from the granites of Tinos Island in the Aegean Sea, Greece, suggest, together with published ZFT data, that there are three extensional detachments ...

The growth of northeastern Tibet and its relevance to large-scale continental geodynamics: A review of recent studies [PDF]
Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet began essentially at the time of collision with India, not 10–20 Myr ...
