Thermochronology techniques developed over the past 30 years have been invaluable tools in quantifying the timing, rates and patterns of tectonic, erosive, and extraterrestrial processes. Nonetheless, fundamental questions concerning the mechanistic underpinnings of these techniques, such as uncertainties in diffusion kinetics and the effects of radiation damage, still remain.  This session invites abstracts on recent experimental and observational studies that improve our understanding of new or existing thermochronology systems. We welcome contributions from both the high and low temperature thermochronology communities.
