Apatite's ubiquity in crystalline rocks, variable trace element contents (particularly with
regard to the REE, actinides and Sr), and amenability to various dating techniques based on …

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 …

Climate influences the erosion processes acting at the Earth's surface. However, the effect of
cooling during the Late Cenozoic era, including the onset of Pliocene–Pleistocene Northern …

The field of (U-Th)/He geochronology and thermochronology has grown enormously over
the past∼ 25 years. The tool is applicable across much of geologic time, new (U-Th)/He …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is a prime example of a collisional orogen with widespread
strike‐slip faults whose age and tectonic significance remain controversial. We present new …

The southeast margin of the Tibetan plateau is characterized by deeply incised river valleys
separated by a perched low relief landscape that gently descends from the high Tibetan …

Research in landscape evolution over millions to tens of millions of years slowed
considerably in the mid‐20th century, when Davisian and other approaches to …

The Tianshan range, located in the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB),
represents an excellent natural laboratory for investigating intracontinental deformation. The …

A transformative advance in Earth science is the development of low‐temperature
thermochronometry to date Earth surface processes or quantify the thermal evolution of …

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 …
