楚加奇街阿拉斯加东南部/育空地区西南部的埃利亚斯造山带是由于雅库塔特微板块俯冲-与北美板块碰撞而形成的。由于严重的冰川作用,该地区是研究活跃的会聚造山作用和气候-构造相互作用的主要地点。本研究的重点是在圣埃利亚斯结合区的变形的长期分布,在那里的右旋运动沿着板块边界费尔韦瑟断层过渡到收敛。我们提出了2718个新的锆石裂变径迹单颗粒年龄从26冰川河流沉积物样品。颗粒年龄介于293 ~ 0.2Ma之间,每个样品包含2 ~ 5个年龄群,峰值在267 ± 64 Ma ~ 1.2 ± 0.7Ma(1σ)之间。雅库塔特微板块的岩石主要由最新的白垩纪和始新世的裂变径迹年龄,而北美板块的岩石在接合区揭示了两个折返阶段,约5.1 Ma和2.7 Ma。≤5 Ma冷却年龄的空间格局表明,圣埃利亚斯结快速而深的折返区域比以前所知的更广泛,并局限于南部的费尔韦瑟断层,西部的苏厄德冰川流域,东部可能是推断的连接器断层。该地区似乎是~4800 km 2大,并可能进一步向北延伸。新的锆石裂变径迹数据进一步表明,自~30 Ma以来存在一个压扭板块边界,板块碰撞开始于15-12 Ma。
The Chugach‐St. Elias orogen, Southeast Alaska/Southwest Yukon, formed in response to the ongoing Yakutat microplate subduction‐collision with the North American Plate. Due to heavy glaciation, the region is a prime location to study active convergent orogenesis and climate‐tectonic interactions. This study focuses on the long‐term distribution of deformation in the St. Elias syntaxis area, where dextral motion along the plate‐bounding Fairweather Fault transitions into convergence. We present 2718 new zircon fission‐track single‐grain ages from 26 glaciofluvial outwash samples. The grain ages range from 293 Ma to 0.2 Ma, and each sample contains two to five age populations with peaks between 267 ± 64 Ma and 1.2 ± 0.7 Ma (1σ). The rocks of the Yakutat microplate are dominated by latest Cretaceous and Eocene fission‐track ages, while the rocks of the North American Plate in the syntaxis region reveal two exhumation phases at ~5.1 Ma and ~2.7 Ma. The spatial pattern of ≤5 Ma cooling ages shows that the area of rapid and deep exhumation at the St. Elias syntaxis is more extensive than previously known and confined to the south by the Fairweather Fault, to the west by the Seward Glacier catchment, and to the east possibly by the inferred Connector Fault. The area seems to be ~4800 km2large and may extend farther to the north. The new zircon fission‐track data further suggest a transpressional plate boundary since ~30 Ma and the onset of plate collision 15–12 Ma.
