This book is focused on the basics of applying thermochronology to
geological and tectonic problems, with the emphasis on
fission-track thermochronology. It is conceived for relatively new
practitioners to thermochronology, as well as scientists
experienced in the various methods. The book is structured in two
parts. Part I is devoted to the fundamentals of the fission-track
method, to its integration with other geochronologic methods, and
to the basic principles of statistics for fission-track dating and
sedimentology applied to detrital thermochronology. Part I also
includes the historical development of the technique and thoughts
on future directions. Part II is devoted to the geological
interpretation of the thermochronologic record. The thermal frame
of reference and the different approaches for the interpretation of
fission-track data within a geological framework of both basement
and detrital studies are discussed in detail. Separate chapters
demonstrate the application of fission-track thermochronology from
various perspectives (e.g., tectonics, petrology, stratigraphy,
hydrocarbon exploration, geomorphology), with other chapters on the
application to basement rocks in orogens, passive continental
margins and cratonic interiors, as well as various applications of
detrital thermochronology.
