Determining the Uplift Rate of the Tibetan Plateau from Cosmogenic 36C1 in Volcanic Rocks

在几个碰撞造山带中，伴随着构造作用的大面积隆升，形成了异常高的大高原。现代的经典例子是青藏高原的5000人，这是地球表面最不寻常的不规则性之一。最近的模拟强调了了解这些高原的隆起历史对于了解所涉及的基本构造机制和了解这些隆起如何影响大气环流模式、侵蚀和其他导数参数的重要性。该项目将利用地表36c1的高度控制生产和火山流的放射性测年来约束青藏高原的隆升历史。如果成功，这些结果将对理解这一高原的形成和测试一般造山模型都是非常宝贵的。

In several collisional orogens, uplift of large areas has accompanied tectonism, forming large plateaus of anomalously high elevation. The classic modern example is the 5,000 in Tibetan Plateau, one of the most extraordinary irregularities of the earth's surface. Recent modeling has underscored the importance of understanding the uplift history of these plateaus both in understanding the fundamental tectonic mechanics involved and in understanding how these uplifts affect atmospheric circulation patterns, erosion and other derivative parameters. This project will employ the altitude-controlled production of 36C1 of surfaces and radiometric dating of volcanic flows to constrain the uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau. Results, if successful, will be invaluable in both understanding the formation of this plateau and in testing general orogenic models.
