- Abstract:
- Apatite (U-Th)/He and fission tack dating will be used to resolve the transient effects of Neogene Mendocino Triple Junction migration on the North American continental margin. Despite its global significance, previous studies have been unable to fully test competing dynamic models of MTJ evolution and migrations due to lack of temporal resolution. Preliminary apatite (U-Th)/He data indicate that detailed thermochronolgical investigation incorporating this technique will be able to provide this quantitative constraint, due to its sensitivity to more subtle levels of tectonism than methods that have previously been applied. This will allow thorough quantitative testing of competing models for the tectonic evolution of this triple-junction system for the first time.
