“…As one of the most important thermochronological methods, apatite fission track (AFT) parameters provide quantitative information on cooling and record the thermal history of rocks (Green et al, 1986;Green, 1988;Gallagher, 2003), and these parameters are typically interpreted as a result of surface uplift and erosion (Tian et al, 2010;Tian et al, 2012;Tian et al, 2013;Lei et al, 2012;Ren et al, 2015;Qi et al, 2016;Powell et al, 2017;. Previous work that has focused on the thermal history derived from a variety of thermochronometry dating methods, such as U-Pb, 40 Ar/ 39 Ar, (U-Th)/He and AFT, in the Longmenshan, Micangshan and Dabashan areas has been published, and the dating methods and results have mainly been applied to investigate the cooling events and the coupling process of the Tibetan Plateau uplift (Arne et al, 1997;Enkelmann et al, 2006;Shen et al, 2007;Richardson et al, 2008;Li ZW et al, 2010;Li ZW et al, 2012;Li JH et al, 2010;Li et al, 2011;Chang et al, 2010;Tian et al, 2010;Tian et al, 2012;Tian et al, 2013;Tian et al, 2016;Tian YT et al, 2018;Yang et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2017;Shen et al, 2019).…”
