Geochronological techniques such as cosmogenic nuclides, thermochronology, radiocarbon and luminescence dating continue to improve in accuracy, precision and temporal range. Developments in combining geochronological methods, data treatment and landscape evolution models have provided new insights into the timing, rates and magnitude of Earth surface processes. Integrating geochronological datasets from different techniques with tectonic, geomorphic, and landscape evolution models offers enormous potential for understanding how tectonics, climate, erosion, and sediment transport interact to shape landscapes across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This session includes studies ranging from erosion rates, sediment provenance, burial and transport times, geomorphic response to active deformation, cooling histories and landscape dynamics. and technical developments and novel applications of Quaternary geochronometers. We invite studies that apply novel geochronological methods, combine geochronological and geochemical techniques with numerical modeling or landscape evolution analyses, and that highlight the latest developments and open questions in the application of geochronometers in geomorphology.
