Deconvolution of fission-track length distributions and its application to dating and separating pre- and post-depositional components [PDF]
To enable the separation of pre- and postdepositional components of the length distribution of (partially annealed) horizontal confined fission tracks, the length distribution is corrected by deconvolution.

We present the first results of fission-track dating of apatite monofractions from two rock samples taken from the Southern carbonatite massif of the world’s largest alkaline ultrabasic Guli pluton (~250 Ma), located within the Maymecha-Kotuy region of ...

Increased erosion of high-elevation land during late Cenozoic: evidence from detrital thermochronology off-shore Greenland [PDF]
Mountain regions at high altitudes show deeply incised glacial valleys that coexist with a high-standing low-relief landscape, whose origin is largely debated.

Data of thermal imprints of late Permian Emeishan basalt effusion: Evidence from zircon fission-track thermochronology [PDF]
We present 271 detrital single-grain zircon fission track (ZFT) ages obtained for eight sandstones, which were sampled from the southwestern Yangtze Craton, southern China.

Fission tracks are linear trails of intense radiation damage in the crystal structure of a mineral, produced by spontaneous fissioning of uranium-238 (238U) atoms.

Origin and timing of spilitic alterations in volcanic rocks from Głuszyca Górna in the Intra-Sudetic Basin, Poland [PDF]
The formation of spilitic assemblages (i.e. chlorite and albite) has been ubiquitously involved during the evolution of continental early-Permian volcanics from the Intra-Sudetic Basin (ISB).

A commentary on "Fission-Track Dating"
Fission-track (FT) dating is a radiogenic method of age estimation based on the accumulation of damage trails left by nuclei that are expelled during spontaneous nuclear fission of the uranium isotope 238U. Significant amounts of uranium occur in rock-forming minerals such as apatite and zircon. Data obtained by FT dating such as grain ages of internal

AI-Track-tive: open-source software for automated recognition and counting of surface semi-tracks using computer vision (artificial intelligence) [PDF]
A new method for automatic counting of etched fission tracks in minerals is described and presented in this article. Artificial intelligence techniques such as deep neural networks and computer vision were trained to detect fission surface semi-tracks on
