Understanding the formation of Qilian Shan in NE Tibetan Plateau provides insights into growth mechanisms northern portion plateau through time. The onset time exhumation is still debated. Qinghai Nan subrange, located southeastern Shan, cut by Yellow River that forms Longyang Gorge, providing a good vertical profile for thermochronological investigation exhumation. In this paper, we reconstruc...

The diffusion of defects (e.g., vacancies and interstitials) elements used for dating He Pb) in a mineral structure is thermal process: This the primary assumption to determine age history minerals. For instance, reconstruction, through number length distribution tracks produced by spontaneous fission 238U, obtained assuming event be only energy source shortening tracks. Here, we report new, no...
