Geochronology in hot and dynamic systems: approaches and tools to unravel the past [GMPV1.7]

 

The powerful combination of high-resolution geochronological data with petro-structural analysis, is continuously progressing our understanding of orogenic processes within the Earth's dynamic lithosphere. Moreover, the development of new techniques and improvement of analytical equipment inspire future progress and development.

Despite being a powerful tool, geochronology of major and accessory minerals requires careful interpretation. The interplay of temperature, water and melt-content in magmatic and (ultra)high-temperature ((U)HT) metamorphic systems potentially affects geochronometers. Additionally, direct ages from time capsule minerals can be interpreted in different ways. For these reasons, reliable interpretation of geochronological data, essential to decipher the tectono- magmatic and metamorphic evolution of an orogenic system, is improved by using multiscale and multi-disciplinary approaches that complements geochronology with field observations, structural analysis, petrography, geochemistry, and petrology.

 

This session aims to highlight recent achievements and considerations in geochronology applied to igneous and (U)HT-metamorphic rocks from dynamic systems (orogens). We welcome contributions in which geochronology is coupled with petrology, major, trace elements and isotope geochemistry, thermodynamic modelling, and structural geology.
