Noble-gas thermochronology takes advantage of the time-dependent production of noble gases and the thermally activated diffusion of these gases to constrain the temperature histories of minerals found in crustal rocks. Thermochronology has become widely used to address research questions across Earth and planetary science.
Noble Gas Thermochronology
October 2020, Vol. 16, No. 5
Noble-gas thermochronology takes advantage of the time-dependent production of noble gases and the thermally activated diffusion of these gases to constrain the temperature histories of minerals found in crustal rocks. Thermochronology has become widely used to address research questions across Earth and planetary science. These questions include when and how valleys are cut by glaciers; from where sediment is sourced; what thermal conditions occur on fault planes during slip; and how the surfaces of planetary bodies evolve on billion-year timescales. This issue highlights how noble-gas thermochronology can be used to address questions like these, as well as what new avenues of research noble-gas thermochronology could be used for in the future.
