摘 要：High topography in eastern Tibet iS thought to have formed when deep crust beneath the central Tibetan Plateau flowed towards the plateau margin,causing crustal thickening and surface *** exhumation starting about 10-15 million years ago iS inferred to mark the onset of surface uplift and *** geophysical data are consistent with weak crust capable of flow,it S unclear how the timing and amount of deformation adjacent to the Sichuan Basin during the Cenozoic era can be explained in this *** we use thermochronology to measure the cooling histories of rocks exposed in a section that stretches vertically over 3 km adjacent to the Sichuan Basin.0ur thermal models
