Quantifying geological processes has greatly benefited from the development and use of
thermochronometric methods over the last fifty years. Among them is the (U-Th)/He dating …

The São Francisco Craton (SFC) and its marginal Araçuaí and Brasília orogens exhibit a
significant diversity in their lithospheric architecture. These orogens were shaped during the …

Zircon U-Pb geochronology was applied to investigate the provenance, depositional ages,
and paleogeography of the southwestern Gondwana in detrital and ash fall sediments from …

Abstract The South American Platform encompasses the São Francisco Craton (SFC) and
the Araçuaí-Ribeira orogenic system (AROS) located in the eastern Brazil. These geologic …

Argon geochronology of white mica has a good potential of recording recurrent dynamic
recrystallization in shear zones in the transition from ductile to brittle deformation, as …

Low-temperature thermochronology focuses on the comprehension of the upper crust's
thermal history, where morphotectonic processes take place. We present a robust …

The present-day southern Brazilian continental margin rests on top of the Dom Feliciano Belt
(DFB) and adjacent cratons. This belt formed through the collision of the Rio de La Plata …

The geodynamic forces acting during Jurassic-Cretaceous South Atlantic rifting provoked
intense transformations in West Gondwana, such as the reactivation of ancient basement …

Passive margins form in response to rifting affecting a continental area. Rifting evolution is
dependent on structural and rheological inheritance, generally controlling differential …

Earth's surface is a result of complex tectonic and erosional processes shaping landscapes
and producing transient signs of different evolutionary stages. These transient signs are …
