Abstract：Provenance analysis is a critical connection between orogenic belt and sedimentary basin, and can help reconstruct the tectonic background of source area,estimate sediment routing pathway and transportation distance,and rebuild sedimentary basin infilling history,and thus plays an important role in the sedimentary source-to-sink system analysis. Traditional approaches,such as petrology,sedimentology,heavy mineral,geochemistry etc.,have been used for provenance analysis for decades and will still be important in the future. With the advances of isotope analytical technology,isotopic dating of mineral grains has been more widely used in sediment provenance analysis. Recently,isotopic dating of detrital minerals,such as monazite,apatite,rutile etc.,especially,detrital zircon geochronology has been widely applied to reconstruct the sediment dispersal system and ancient drainage system of sedimentary basin. Isotopic dating of multiple minerals and double or triple dating on a single mineral grain have been approved to be more effective in deciphering the tectonic evolution of source area and the linkage between orogenic evolution and sedimentary basin infilling history. Meanwhile,with increasing amount of data obtained from detrital zircon U/Pb dating,mathematical and statistic approaches have been introduced to quantify the contribution from siliciclastic sources in the orogenic belt to the sediment deposition in the basin. The current and future research on sediment provenance will be continuous processes of bringing in new technologies,incorporating traditional and advanced methods,transiting from single approach to multiple combined approaches and from qualitative to quantitative analysis,as well as developing of interdisciplinary. The progress made on provenance analysis will help us better understand the whole erosion, transportation and sedimentation process of sediment on the earth surface.
