Mesozoic-Cenozoic Topographic Evolution of the South Tianshan (NW China): Insights from Detrital Apatite Geo-Thermochronological and Geochemical Analyses

The present-day topography of Tianshan is the product of repeated phases of Meso-Cenozoic intracontinental deformation and reactivation, whereas the long-term Mesozoic topographic evolution and the timing of the onset of Cenozoic deformation remain debated. New insights into the Meso-Cenozoic geodyn...
