Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Helium diffusion from apatite is a sensitive function of the volume fraction of radiation
damage to the crystal, a quantity that varies over the lifetime of the apatite. Using recently …

The Cenozoic collision between India and Asia has deformed a large part of central Asia. To
the north of Tibet around the margins of the western Tarim basin, major basin‐vergent …

We present new evidence on the seismic velocity and density of the crust and upper mantle
along a 200‐km‐long transect across the eastern Basin and Range and western Colorado …

The source of buoyancy for the uplift of cratonic plateaus is a fundamental question in
continental dynamics. The~ 1.9 km uplift of the Colorado Plateau since the Late Cretaceous …

Individual detrital apatite grains from the Esplanade, Coconino, and Moenkopi Formations in
the Grand Canyon region of the Colorado Plateau yield (U-Th)/He dates from 104 to 5 Ma …

Abstract Apatite (U–Th)/He and fission-track dates, as well as 4 He/3 He and fission-track
length data, provide rich thermal history information. However, numerous choices and …

The uplift and denudation of the Colorado Plateau is important in reconstructing the
geomorphic and tectonic evolution of western North America. A Late Cretaceous (64±2 Ma) …

Riedel shear structures are common fault patterns identified within shear zones and related
to the embryonic stages of fault formation. This study focuses on the geometry of outcrop …

Fission track results determined from granitic rocks exposed within the Coast Ranges of
British Columbia indicate that significant variations in apatite chemistry may occur in small …
