Detrital thermochronology—Provenance analysis, exhumation, and landscape evolution of mountain belts / Детритовая термохронология - анализ происхождения, эксгумация, и ландшафтная эволюция горных поясов

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have used single-grain age dating of detrital sediments to obtain information on sediment provenance, the thermal history and exhumation of sediment source areas, and landscape evolution. In order to highlight the value of this current development in geological research, we based this volume on papers presented in a session on detrital thermochonology at the 2002 Geological Society of America Annual Meeting held in Denver, Colorado. This Special Paper provides a short overview of the different, nowadays commonly used, dating techniques in detrital thermochronology, followed by discussion of some of the methodological aspects of detrital thermochronology (in the first two manuscripts) and of a variety of applications of detrital thermochronology, demonstrated in several regional case studies. <...>
