Thermochronology

Thermochronology

Thermochronology is a branch of geochronology that studies the thermal history of rocks and minerals. It involves determining the ages of rocks based on the closure temperature of specific isotopic systems. As rocks cool from high temperatures, radioactive isotopes decay at predictable rates, recording the time since they were last heated. This method helps geologists understand the thermal evolution of geological regions, the timing of tectonic events, and the rates of erosion and exhumation. Techniques such as fission track dating and (U-Th)/He dating are commonly used in thermochronology to reveal the geological processes shaping Earth's crust over millions to billions of years.
