Quantitative Constraints on the Rate of Landform Evolution Derived from Low-Temperature Thermochronology
In recent years, the nature of the complex interactions between the solid earth and the overlying atmosphere has been the subject of much debate (England and Molnar 1990; Whipple et al. 1999; Braun et al. 1999). Does erosion play an important role in the dynamics of mountain building? Is there a strong feedback into the balance of forces at the crustal scale from mass transport by erosional and...
متن کامل40Ar/39Ar thermochronology from the northwestern Dabie Shan: constraints on the evolution of Qinling–Dabie orogenic belt, east-central China
Seven structural units with distinct kinematics have been recognized in the northwestern Dabie Shan (114°E– 115°E and 31°N–32°N), east-central China. They are, from north to south: (1) the north-verging Mafan fold belt (MFB) involving early Paleozoic metamorphic rocks; (2) the Liangting melange belt (LMB), which is separated from the MFB by a south-dipping thrust and consists of gneissic and ma...

متن کاملMagnetochronology of the Upper Cenozoic strata in the Southwestern Chinese Tian Shan: rates of Pleistocene folding and thrusting
The southwestern Chinese Tian Shan of Central Asia is an actively deforming part of the Indian^Asian collision system. Paleomagnetic investigations of two Plio^Pleistocene terrestrial successions provide the first detailed magnetostratigraphy for the upper Cenozoic strata in this region. Paleomagnetic samples were collected from 358 sites within the Atushi Formation and Xiyu Formation across th...
متن کاملDeep slip rates along the Longmen Shan fault zone estimated from repeating microearthquakes
[1] We investigated deep slip rates along the Longmen Shan fault zone where the devastating 2008 M7.9 Wenchuan earthquake occurred using repeating earthquake data recorded by two digital seismic networks near the fault. Using cross‐correlation analysis of waveform data, we identified a total of 231 doublets and 224 multiplets that have highly similar waveforms. Most of these sequences are aperi...
