Cenozoic Exhumation and Deformation of the Intermontane Pastos Chicos Basin in the Southern Central Andes: Implications for the Tectonic Evolution of the Andean Plateau (Puna) and the Eastern Cordillera Between 23° and 24°S, NW Argentina
(Tectonics, 2023-02-03)The Andean Plateau of north‐western Argentina (Puna) at a mean elevation of ca. 4.2 km constitutes the southern continuation of the Altiplano; it is a compressional basin‐and‐range province comprising fault‐bounded, ... -
Multi‐Band Raman Analysis of Radiation Damage in Zircon for Thermochronology: Partial Annealing and Mixed Signals
(Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022-01-24)Four zircon Raman bands were previously calibrated to give consistent estimates of the accumulated self‐irradiation α‐dose in unannealed volcanic samples. Partial annealing of radiation damage produces inconsistent values ... -
Quantifying Tectonic and Glacial Controls on Topography in the Patagonian Andes (46.5°S) From Integrated Thermochronometry and Thermo‐Kinematic Modeling
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021-07-28)The Patagonian Andes have been used to illustrate the dependency of major topographic changes in response to glacial erosion processes dominating over tectonic deformation and uplift. Here, we investigate tectonic and ... -
The Alichur Dome, South Pamir, Western India–Asia Collisional Zone: Detailing the Neogene Shakhdara–Alichur Syn-collisional Gneiss-Dome Complex and Connection to Lithospheric Processes
(Tectonics, 2020)Neogene, syn-collisional extensional exhumation of Asian lower–middle crust produced the Shakhdara–Alichur gneiss-dome complex in the South Pamir. The <1 km-thick, mylonitic–brittle, top-NNE, normal-sense Alichur shear ... -
Thermo‐Kinematic Evolution of the Eastern European Alps Along the TRANSALP Transect
(Tectonics, 2023-04-12)The eastern European Alps are shaped by the indentation of Adria into Europe. Recent tomography, depicting detached slab fragments, has been interpreted as evidence of continuous southward subduction of European lithosphere, ... -
Turning the Orogenic Switch: Slab‐Reversal in the Eastern Alps Recorded by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-03-15)Many convergent orogens, such as the eastern European Alps, display an asymmetric doubly vergent wedge geometry. In doubly vergent orogens, deepest exhumation occurs above the retro‐wedge. Deep‐seismic interpretations ... -
Using a Paleosurface to Constrain Low-Temperature Thermochronological Data: Tectonic Evolution of the Cuevas Range, Central Andes
(Tectonics, 2019)Dispersion of low-temperature thermochronologic data from nine samples collected on a deformed paleosurface preserved on the Cuevas range (Central Andes) can be exploited to unravel complex thermal histories. The nine ...
