What can thermochronology resolve today, and where can it take us next? Linking methodological advances with geological questions is central to expanding the capabilities and applications of thermochronology. This session brings the thermochronology community together to exchange approaches and findings across regions and disciplines.

We welcome contributions addressing (1) theoretical and experimental advances that introduce new thermochronometers or improve our understanding of conventional systems, including fission-track, (U-Th)/He, ⁴He/³He, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar, Raman, and trapped-charge methods; (2) approaches to data interpretation, thermal history and thermokinematic modelling that assess uncertainties and test geological scenarios; (3) integration of thermochronology with complementary evidence such as geomorphology, remote sensing or isotopic methods; and (4) geological applications constraining the timing, magnitude and rates of lithospheric and Earth-surface processes across spatial and temporal scales. Applications may range from tectonics and exhumation to landscape evolution and sedimentary histories, while also exploring weathering, hydrothermalism, and ore deposit formation and preservation. Both established uses and new directions have a place in this session. Across these themes, we encourage discussion of unexpected results and interpretative limitations alongside methodological advances and geological findings.
