The symposium integrates geochronology, low-temperature thermochronology, and isotope geochemistry to provide temporal precision and new perspectives on tectonic-structural, magmatic, metamorphic, sedimentary, and surface processes, thereby consolidating an increasingly quantitative and applied approach to geology.
Why participate?
Because temporal and isotopic information is essential for addressing both scientific and applied challenges. The symposium will present methodological advances, technique development and calibration, available analytical facilities, and applied case studies that strengthen research, exploration, and resource management.
Topics and objectives
- Promotion and application of geochronology, thermochronology, and isotopic geology in the characterization of geological systems, enhancing applied knowledge at local and regional scales.
- Integration of age determinations and isotopic geochemical data with field geology, petrology, geophysics, and modeling to reconstruct P–T–t paths and associated geological processes.
- Advances in geochronology (U–Pb, Ar–Ar, Rb–Sr, Re–Os), low-temperature thermochronology (fission tracks, U-Th-Sm/He), and isotope geochemistry (Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf, O, S).
- Standardization, quality control, calibration, and rigorous treatment of analytical uncertainties.
- Methodological and instrumental innovations (LA-ICP-MS, SHRIMP, TIMS, MC-ICP-MS), sample preparation, and statistical modeling, including new applications.
- Analytical facilities available in Argentina and Latin America for geochronology and isotopic geology analyses, including corporate and institutional presentations.
