Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

Erosion of orogenic mountain ranges exhumes deeply buried rocks and controls
weathering, climate, and sediment production and transport at a variety of scales. Erosion …

This paper deals with the various tectonic units in the Chinese Eastern Tianshan orogenic
collage in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, and discusses the Paleozoic geological history of …

▪ Abstract The Cordilleran orogen of western North America is a segment of the Circum-
Pacific orogenic belt where subduction of oceanic lithosphere has been underway along a …

A number of features of zircon (ZrSiO4), including high U-Th concentrations, high
abundance in a wide range of lithologies, refractory nature under metamorphic and some …

Deep-seated metamorphic rocks are commonly found in the interior of many divergent and
convergent orogens. Plate tectonics can account for high-pressure metamorphism by …

We present new Raman spectra data of carbonaceous material (CM) to extend the range of
the Raman spectra of CM thermometer (RSCM) to temperatures as low as 100° C. Previous …

Individual dating of detrital apatite and zircon crystals in arenitic sediments by the fission
track method is a useful, promising technique for provenance analysis. The ages form …

In one form or another, geochronologists have been practicing thermochronology1, the use
of radioisotopic dating to constrain thermal histories of rocks and minerals, for over 40 years …

Thermochronological data from the Songpan-Ganze˛ Fold Belt and Longmen Mountains
Thrust-Nappe Belt, on the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in central China, reveal …
