Abstract. The Phanerozoic tectonothermal evolution of the SW slope East European Platform (EEP) in Poland is reconstructed by means thermal maturity, low-temperature thermochronometry, and modelling. We provide a set new thermochronometric data integrate stratigraphic maturity information to constrain burial history sediments. Apatite fission track (AFT) analysis zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe) thermoch...
