Scientific Themes

Thermo2010 aims to provide a platform for discussion and debate on all aspects of thermochronology, and we invite contributions from all developmental, applied and interpretive areas. Thermo2010 will have three overarching interdisciplinary themes of:  

 

Innovation - the development and innovative applications of thermochronological systems
Integration - the combination of techniques, methods and models to maximise the t-T information
Interpretation - the application of thermochronology to understanding the Earth

 

We strongly encourage submissions from all fields of thermochronology research, and will endeavour to reflect the interests of Thermo2010 delegates in the final program. Thermo2010 hopes to promote active participation from a large number of graduate students and early career researchers. Each of final sessions will accept both oral and poster presentations. 

S-01: The behaviour of noble gasses in minerals    
S-02: Challenges and opportunities in fission track analysis    
S-03: Technical advances in low temperature thermochronology    
S-04: Novel applications of thermochronometers    
S-05: Deriving thermal histories   
S-06: Detrital thermochronology    
S-07: Denudation to deposition    
S-08: Thermochronology of high-temperature high-pressure rocks    
S-09: Topo-Europe    
S-10: Interpretation of thermochronological data: limitations and potential    
S-11: Modelling shallow crustal processes using thermochronology    
S-12: Thermochronology and hydrocarbon exploration    
S-13: Thermochronology in action

Places on the pre-conference Field Trip are limited to 35 by the accommodation.  Please see the website here for further details and registration.  Please ensure you register AND pay early to avoid disappointment.  Places will be awarded on a first come first served basis, and will not be confirmed until we have received payment.  We will operate a waiting list once the trip is full.   If you register for the field trip and then cannot come a refund will only be issued if we can find someone else to take your place. 

 

 


Social Programme and Mid-Conference Field Trip


All social events, including the mid-conference field trip to Loch Lomond and Glen Coe, the BBQ, the whisky tasting and Conference Banquet are included in the registration fee.  “Social tickets” for accompanying persons can be purchased for the banquet, or for the full social programme
