Tectonic history of the South Tannuol Fault Zone (Tuva region of the northern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Russia) : constraints from multi-method geochronology [PDF]
In this study, we present zircon U/Pb, plagioclase and K-feldspar Ar-40/Ar-39 and apatite fission track (AFT) data along the South Tannuol Fault Zone (STFZ).

Topographic relief in arc-trench systems is thought to be formed by plate subduction; however, few quantitative investigations have so far been reported, with respect to the related mountain building process.

Constraining the long-term evolution of the slip rate for a major extensional fault system in the central Aegean, Greece, using thermochronology [PDF]
The brittle/ductile transition is a major rheologic boundary in the crust yet little is known about how or if rates of tectonic processes are influenced by this boundary.

Early Cenozoic denudation of central west Britain in response to transient and permanent uplift above a mantle plume [PDF]
Upwelling mantle plumes beneath continental crust are predicted to produce difficult to quantify, modest uplift and denudation. The contribution of permanent and transient components to the uplift is also difficult to distinguish.

Tectono-thermal evolution of Oman's Mesozoic passive continental margin under the obducting Semail Ophiolite: a case study of Jebel Akhdar, Oman [PDF]
We present a study of pressure and temperature evolution in the passive continental margin under the Oman Ophiolite using numerical basin models calibrated with thermal maturity data, fluid-inclusion thermometry, and low-temperature thermochronometry and

Fundamentals of Noble Gas Thermochronometry
The ideal geochronometer would be a universally stable phase that quantitatively retains both parent and daughter isotopes. Though a few mineral systems such as zircon U-Pb dating come reasonably close to this ideal, most minerals are incompletely retentive of daughter-product nuclides under crustal conditions.

Post-Laramide Extension and Erosion in the Madison and Gallatin Ranges of Southwest Montana from Apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He Thermochronometry [PDF]
Since the end of the Laramide Orogeny (~50 Ma), southwest Montana has experienced complex tectonic, climatic, volcanic, and mantle dynamic processes that have left an imprint on the landscape.

OSL-thermochronometry of feldspar from the KTB borehole, Germany [PDF]
The reconstruction of thermal histories of rocks (thermochronometry) is a fundamental tool both in Earth science and in geological exploration. However, few methods are currently capable of resolving the low-temperature thermal evolution of the upper ∼2 km of the Earth's crust.
