TL;DR: The role of erosion in the structural and petrological evolution of mountain belts has been examined at a variety of spatial and temporal scales, and it has been shown that erosion can mediate the development and distribution of both deformation and metamorphic facies, accommodate crustal convergence, and locally instigate high-grade metamorphism and melting as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooling history of the NW Himalaya, Pakistan
TL;DR: Fission track and 40Ar/39Ar cooling ages indicate that the late-Tertiary cooling history of the Himalayan ranges of northern Pakistan is largely a function of uplift and erosion as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
U-Th-He dating of apatite: A potential thermochronometer
TL;DR: In this article, a gem quality crystal of Durango fluorapatite was found to have a 4He content consistent with complete retention of radiogenic helium since its formation at about 31 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic and ecologic changes during Miocene surface uplift in the Southern Patagonian Andes
TL;DR: The up to ∼4 km high southern Patagonian Andes form a pronounced topographic barrier to atmospheric circulation in the southern hemisphere westerlies, and cause one of the most drastic orographic rain shadows on earth as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neogene Patagonian plateau lavas: Continental magmas associated with ridge collision at the Chile Triple Junction
Matthew Gorring,Suzanne Mahlburg Kay,Peter K. Zeitler,Victor A. Ramos,Daniel Rubiolo,Marisa I. Fernandez,José Luis Alberto Panza +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that extensive Neogene Patagonian plateau lavas are syncollisional or postcollisional in age, with eruptions of both sequences migrating northeastward at 50 to 70 km/Ma.
