英文摘要 | The exhumation history of the Gangdese Batholith, southern Tibet, bears on how magmatism and tectonism interact with surface processes in a long-lived magmatic orogen. In this study, we applied Alin-hornblende barometry across the eastern Gangdese Batholith to obtain pluton emplacement pressures. Our results, together with existing bedrock pressure data, reveal the regional paleo-depth pattern across the Gangdese Batholith. The western part of the batholith, near Lhasa, exposes plutons emplaced at 1-2 kbar whereas the eastern part, near Nyingchi, exposes crust recording pressures typically of 6-12 kbar. We coupled pressure data with new and published U-Pb zircon ages to constrain the exhumation history of the Gangdese Batholith. The results show that since 100 Ma, the upper crust experienced limited exhumation except a pronounced Oligocene-Miocene pulse. In contrast, the middle-lower crust experienced a complex exhumation and burial history, reflecting major tectonic events including the development of continental arc and continent-continent collision. Since ca. 10 Ma, the eastern Nyingchi sector experienced fast exhumation (total exhumation > 40 km), which was likely related to the exhumation of the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis. The Lhasa sector experienced comparatively limited exhumation (total exhumation < 10 km). Such dramatic differential exhumation along the E-W direction requires that the Gangdese Batholith was tilted to present-day exposure levels. Our study shows that during the evolution of a magmatic orogen, the upper and middle-lower crust can behave differently, and the exhumation history reflects integrated tectonic, magmatic, and surface processes. The surface erosion rate estimates can be used to calculate CO2 consumption and evaluate the roles of magmatic orogens in the long-term carbon cycle. Given its great exposures of plutonic and metamorphic rocks across a relatively continuous crustal section, the Gangdese Batholith has great potential to serve as a natural laboratory to understand the structures and evolution of the continental crust.
