Thermo 2014: The 14th International Conference on Thermochronology

Peter VAN DER BEEK — 2014-03-11T12:54:07Z

THE 14TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THERMOCHRONOLOGY will be held from 8 to 12 September 2014, at the Chamonix Mont-Blanc Congress Center, France. This meeting will be focused on the theory and application of fission-track, noble-gas, and other innovative thermochonometric approaches.

The purpose of the conference is to bring together the active international thermochronology community to exchange ideas and discuss important aspects of thermochronology and its modern applications in the Earth and related sciences.
The meeting will also include a pre-conference field trip in the Alps and post-conference workshops.

A consortium of French thermochronology groups, including the group at ISTerre, organizes the conference and will be happy to welcome you in Chamonix.
