TL;DR: In this article, the fission track (FT) method is used to date detrital zircons from sandstones of the Olympic Mountains of northwest Washington State, in order to define better the timing of deposition, subduction accretion, and metamorphism.

TL;DR: In this article, grain-age distributions for detrital zircon are used to resolve the late Cenozoic exhumation history of the European Alps, providing a record from 15 Ma to present.

TL;DR: The Washington Cascade Range is a complex, polygenetic mountain range that dominates the topographic, climatic, and cultural configurations of Washington State as mentioned in this paper, and it has been the locus of ongoing arc magmatism since the Eocene.

TL;DR: In the central Cascade Range of Washington, three structural blocks of early Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rocks help to define the position and history of the southern segment of the Straight Creek fault.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the late saturation in volatiles in igneous plagioclases is a result of late-stage saturation rather than leakage or diffusion without saturation.
