The state of the art of Low-temperature Thermochronology in Brazil
Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil, 2020 Low-temperature thermochronology focuses on the comprehension of the upper crust’s thermal history, where morphotectonic processes take place. We present a robust compilation (1120 data in almost 30 years of research) of fission-track and (U-Th)/He ...

Thermal history of the East European Platform margin in Poland based on apatite and zircon low-temperature thermochronology [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 The Phanerozoic tectonothermal evolution of the SW slope of the East European Platform (EEP) in Poland is reconstructed by means of thermal maturity, low-temperature thermochronometry, and thermal modelling.

A revised alpha-ejection correction calculation for (U–Th) ∕ He thermochronology dates of broken apatite crystals [PDF]
Geochronology, 2022 Accurate corrections for the effects of alpha ejection (the loss of daughter He near grain or crystal surfaces due to long alpha stopping distances) are central to (U-Th)/He thermochronometry.

Heated Topics in Thermochronology and Paths towards Resolution
Geosciences, 2020 Thermochronometry is widely used to track exhumation, the motion of rock towards Earth’s surface, and to gain fresh insights into geodynamic and geomorphic processes.

Thermochronometry constraints on south West Greenland passive continental margin development
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Passive continental margins (PCMs) represent the interface between the marine and terrestrial realms. However, topographic evolution of PCMs is often difficult to decipher due to paucity of the preserved geological record. Here, we report uranium-thorium-

Long-wavelength late-Miocene thrusting in the north Alpine foreland: implications for late orogenic processes [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 In this paper, we present new exhumation ages for the imbricated proximal molasse, i.e. Subalpine Molasse, of the northern Central Alps. Based on apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He thermochronometry, we constrain thrust-driven exhumation in the Subalpine Molasse ...

FTIR thermochronometry of natural diamonds: A closer look [PDF]
Lithos, 2016 Abstract Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a commonly-used technique for investigating diamonds, that gives the most useful information if spatially-resolved measurements are used. In this paper we discuss the best way to acquire and present FTIR data from diamonds, using examples from Murowa (Zimbabwe), Argyle (Australia) and Machado

Artificial intelligent identification of apatite fission tracks based on machine learning
Machine Learning: Science and Technology, 2023 Over the past half century, apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronometry has been widely used in the studies of thermal histories of Earth’s uppermost crust.

Long-term erosion rates as a function of climate derived from the impact crater inventory [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019 Worldwide erosion rates seem to have increased strongly since the beginning of the Quaternary, but there is still discussion about the role of glaciation as a potential driver and even whether the increase is real at all or an artifact due to losses in ...
