Landscape evolution of the Dry Valleys, Transantarctic Mountains: Tectonic implications

Landscape evolution of the Dry Valleys, Transantarctic Mountains: Tectonic implications

There are different views about the amount and timing of surface uplift in the Transantarctic Mountains and the geophysical mechanisms involved. Our new interpretation of the landscape volution and tectonic history of the Dry Valleys area of the Transantarctic Mountains i based on geomorphic mapping of an area of 10,000 km 2. The landforms are dated mainly by their association with volcanic ash...

Uplift history and structure of the Transantarctic Mountains: new evidence from fission track dating of basement apatites in the Dry Valleys area, southern Victoria Land

Fission track analysis of apatites from basement rocks of the Wright Valley in southern Victoria Land provides information about the timing. the amount and hence the rate of uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains in this area. Apatite ages increase systematically with elevation, and a pronounced break in the age versus elevation profile has been recognised at about 800 m on Mt. Doody near the m...
