Thermochronology - the use of temperature-sensitive radiometric
dating methods to reconstruct the thermal histories of rocks - has
proved to be an important means of constraining a wide variety of
geological processes. Fission track and (UTh)/He analyses of
apatites, zircons and titanites are the best-established methods
for reconstructing such histories over time scales of millions to
hundreds of millions of years.

The papers published in this volume are divided into two
sections. The first section on New approaches in
thermochronology, presents the most recent advances of existing
thermochronological methods and demonstrates the progress in the
development of alternative thermochronometers and modelling
techniques.

The second section, Applied thermochronology, comprises original
papers about denudation, long-term landscape evolution and
detrital sources from the European Alps, northwestern Spain, the
Ardennes, the Bohemian Massif, Fennoscandia and Corsica. It also
includes case studies from the Siberian Altai, Mozambique, South
Africa and Dronning Maud Land (East Antarctica) and reports an
ancient thermal anomaly within a regional fault in Japan.
