Technical note: T c 1D – a 1D thermal and thermochronometer age prediction model

Abstract. Thermochronological data are commonly used to study the activity of geological processes over timescales of millions of years. Ages produced by thermochronological measurements, however, are non-unique and do not directly record rates of processes, which has led to the...

Simplified modeling of the impact of lithospheric-scale geological processes on thermal histories and low-temperature thermochronometers

Abstract. Many geological processes influence or perturb the thermal state of the lithosphere. This presents a challenge for relating thermal history data modeled from thermochronometers such as apatite and zircon fission-track and (U-Th)/He dating to geological evolution, a prim...
