Cenozoic thermo-tectonic evolution of the northeastern Pamir revealed by zircon and apatite fission-track thermochronology
The northeastern Pamir is a key location to explore Asian intracontinental tectonic processes
during the Cenozoic. New zircon fission-track (ZFT) data show a 20-to 50-km-wide region of …

Insights Into Episodic Exhumation of the Western Tibetan Plateau Since the Late Cretaceous From Low‐Temperature Thermochronology
Abstract The western Tibetan Plateau (TP) is characterized by low relief with high elevation
separated by deep river valleys. When and how this characteristic topography developed …
