Miocene core complex development and coeval supradetachment basin evolution of Paros, Greece
This study evaluates the tectonosedimentary evolution of Paros, Greece using apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He dating to assess the currently accepted kinematic history and resolve controversy about the formation of and sources to the Paros supradetachment basin. Overdispersed and improbable results in …

Post-Orogenic Thermal History and Exhumation of the Northern Appalachian Basin: Low-Temperature Thermochronologic Constraints
<p>Since the early development of the fission-track dating method by Price, Walker and Fleischer in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the method has evolved into a robust tool for constraining thermal histories and determining exhumation rates within the upper continental crust. Low-temperature …

Geology of Mangapanian (late pliocene) strata, Wanganui Basin: lithostratigraphy, paleontology and sequence stratigraphy
… and early Nukumaruan (late Pliocene) cyclothems in Wanganui Basin have been studied, stratigraphically logged and geologically mapped in thirteen sections from west to east across the basin. The Mangapanian succession contains two subgroups. The Paparangi Subgroup contains sparsely …

Long-term exhumation of landscapes along the Pacific-North American plate boundary as inferred from apatite (U-Th)/He and ArcGIS analyses
The Pacific-North American plate boundary is typified by transpression and convergence, yet the relationship between interplate deformation and long-term crustal shortening is not fully understood. The continuous belt of rugged topography that extends along the entire plate boundary is generally …

Zircon (U-Th)/He Dates from Radiation Damaged Crystals: A New Damage-He Diffusivity Model for the Zircon (U-Th)/He Thermochronometer
Zircon (U-Th)/He (zircon He) dating has become a widely used thermochronologic method in the geosciences. Practitioners have traditionally interpreted (U-Th)/He dates from zircons across a broad spectrum of chemical compositions with a single set of ⁴He diffusion kinetics derived from only a …

Denudation processes in a tectonically active rift on different time scales
Continental rifts are excellent regions where the interplay between extension, the build-up of topography, erosion and sedimentation can be evaluated in the context of landscape evolution. Rift basins also constitute important archives that potentially record the evolution and migration of species …

A Thermochronological Investigation of Orogenic Architecture, Kinematics, and Tectonic-Climatic Interactions within the St. Elias Orogen, Alaska
The kinematics and architecture of orogenic systems may be heavily influenced by climate, but little research has focused on the long-term effects of glacial erosion on orogenesis. Low-temperature thermochronometry and subsidiary structural, earthquake relocation, and offshore seismic reflection …
