| Abstract | We present a multi-chronometric approach for reconstructing deep-time thermal histories using southern Baffin Island as a case study. This continuous thermal history begins with the Palaeoproterozoic
Trans-Hudson Orogeny and is derived from inverse and forward models that integrate thermochronometers spanning some 500°C: new apatite U-Pb ages and K-feldspar 40Ar/39Ar multi-diffusion domain data, published (U-Th)/He zircon ages and new
multi-kinetic fission-track results. Integration of data from a wider temperature range reduces ambiguities in thermal-history modelling and permits us to constrain the timing of geological processes including, extended post-orogenic cooling,
enhanced later Proterozoic cooling, and then episodic burial and exhumation in the Palaeozoic-Mesozoic. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
We present a geochemical dataset from multiple methods that provide bearing on the thermal history of southern Baffin Island, Nunavut. This history has
implications for regional plate tectonic and burial/erosion evolution over the past 1.8 billion years, offering insight into Canadian Shield dynamics. |
