Geothermal evolution of Dongpu depression by fission track analysis

Abstract

Fission track analysis can provide important information of paleotemperatures and its temporal change, and is a very favourable method to solve geothermal problems in fine space-time scale. According to the determination of apatite fission track ages and length, the annealing characteristics of apatite fission track, geothermal evolution and prediction of petroleum source in studied area are discussed.
