dc.description.abstractAge spectra measured by the 40Ar39Ar technique on hornblende, muscovite and K-feldspar from the Uluguru granulite complex of Eastern Tanzania indicate that following granulite facies metamorphism at ∼ 715 Ma the terrane cooled slowly, reaching a temperature of ∼475°C about 630 Ma ago. Subsequent cooling was even slower, reaching temperatures of ∼170°C about 420 Ma ago. Assuming a simple relationship between cooling rate and thermal gradient, the cooling history translates into an uplift path characterized by a phase of rapid uplift soon after granulite facies metamorphism followed by a period of slow uplift which began about 630 Ma ago. Such a history is consistent with model thermal histories of crustal segments undergoing thermal relaxation and isostatically-driven uplift following tectonic thickening events.en_US
