This cross-disciplinary session seeks to highlight advances across the full range of geochronology and thermochronology techniques and applications. We seek contributions focused on new methodologies, the development of geochronological systems for new mineral systems (e.g., olivine, hematite, rutile, pyrochlore etc.), and crystal stratigraphic techniques; as well as on novel applications of conventional techniques (e.g., meteor impacts, fluid percolation, faulting events etc.), the combination of geochronology with high-resolution element and isotope (e.g., Sr, Nd, Hf, O etc.) characteristics, and the integration of multiple dating systems to maximise the geological information that can be extracted. Recent developments in this area are driving research into the timescales of magmatic evolution, eruption chronologies, the timing of faulting, burial and exhumation histories; as well as the behaviour of the different isotope systems during metamorphic reactions and mineral alteration. We wish to encourage the participation of researchers who focus on the macro-scale regional and tectonic systems, and those who focus on the micro-scale processes and fundamental mineralogical controls that underlie all geochronological systems.
