Summary: The timing of surface uplift in the Appalachian Mountains has been a topic of controversy. This study aims to resolve the exhumation history of the region using detrital laser ablation apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He dating. Results show a majority of Cretaceous dates, indicating a lack of significant Cenozoic exhumation. These findings have implications for understanding surface uplift and landscape evolution.

Summary: This study presents thermal history constraints on the Changjiang uranium ore field (CUOF) using multi-system low-temperature thermochronology data, providing insights into its tectonic evolution and degree of ore preservation. The results suggest that the bulk of uranium ore bodies in the CUOF may still be preserved at depth.

Summary: This study presents robust apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronology data from the Eybek, Solarya, and ?ataldag? plutons in NW Turkey. The results show that the Solarya and ?ataldag? plutons have similar ages, while the Eybek pluton is younger. Exhumation rates and thermal modelling indicate fast uplift and exhumation of the Solarya and ?ataldag? plutons during early to middle Miocene.

Summary: In this study, the retentivity of aragonite to helium is explored by comparing (U-Th)/He ages to independent age constraints provided by U/Th and U-Pb dating. Aragonite speleothems from Botovskaya cave in Siberia and Soreq cave in Israel are utilized, and the retentivity of the samples is examined using petrographic thin sections and thermal models. The obtained (U-Th)/He ages are found to be statistically identical to independent age constraints, indicating that aragonite can retain helium for millions of years at surface temperatures of 0-20 degrees C. The results suggest the feasibility of aragonite (U-Th)/He geochronology for samples held at near surface temperatures, even with small grain sizes.

Summary: This study combines single-grain zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe) dating with thermal modeling to better understand the formation process of the Huangling dome. The results indicate complex interactions between uplift, denudation, and heating processes during the formation of the dome. The best models suggest that the dome was shaped in a compressional setting during an early interval.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of various parameters on apatite (U Th Sm)/He (AHe) thermochronological dates using advanced data mining techniques. By excluding the influence of other parameters on helium retention, it is concluded that the chemistry and crystal dimensions of apatite do not significantly affect helium retention or AHe date dispersion. The research suggests that machine learning has the potential to correct errors or detect anomalies in predicting AHe dates.

Summary: Northeast Asia, particularly the Zhangguangcai Range, provides a detailed insight into subduction-related tectonic activities, including the emplacement of granites and eruption of volcanic rocks during the Early Mesozoic, as well as episodic exhumation events since the Jurassic. The interactions and juxtaposition of multiple tectonic domains have led to complex geological processes in this region.

Summary: The study reveals that the serpentinization plays a crucial role in the uplift of the Troodos Mountains. Two distinct serpentinite domains with different densities were formed through different serpentinization styles, contributing to the uplift of the mountains.

Summary: This study presents an enhanced 2-D topography modeling approach that utilizes thermochronological data from horizontal and vertical profiles to reconstruct paleotopography evolution and calculate spatial distribution of paleo-geothermal gradients. The modeling results suggest uneven topographic evolution along a specific section in the Dabie orogen in Eastern China, with comparable exhumation histories for different vertical profiles since the Late Cretaceous. The study also indicates that elevation changes in different segments of the region are influenced by tectonic activities and climate change.

Summary: Apatite fission-track and (U-Th)/He ages from Carboniferous to Eocene siliciclastic rocks in the Istanbul Zone of NW Turkey suggest three major deformation and uplift/exhumation phases. These phases are attributed to orogeny, accretion of oceanic plateaus, and closure of oceanic domains in the region.

Summary: The study analyzed zircon (U-Th)/He(ZHe) data from Proterozoic basement samples in the Front Range of Colorado, revealing the thermal history of the ancient crust. It found that the northern part of the range had higher burial temperatures during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, while the central and southern regions showed older sedimentary characteristics.

Summary: The field of (U-Th)/He geochronology and thermochronology has experienced significant growth over the past 25 years. However, there is currently a lack of universally agreed upon protocols for reporting data and uncertainties. This study aims to address these issues and provides recommendations to enhance the reliability and cross-laboratory comparison of (U-Th)/He data.

Summary: Although the exhumation history of the Ethiopian Plateau remains uncertain, it has gained scientific interest due to its complex geologic setting and thermal response to surface topographic changes. By studying the plateau's thermal history, we can gain insights into the tectonic and geodynamic events that have shaped the region since the Mesozoic era.

Summary: The discovery of He retentivity in magnetite has allowed the use of magnetite (U-Th)/He method as a tool for dating the exhumation of mafic and ultramafic rocks and magnetite crystallization during serpentinization. Theoretical investigations on He diffusion in magnetite reveal that vacancies and radiation damage strongly control the behavior of He retention, even at low damage doses. This has implications for the interpretation of (U-Th)/He thermochronometry using magnetite.

Summary: The Khumbu region in Nepal is home to large leucogranite bodies that crystallized around 19 and 17 million years ago, with significant inherited age components. The rapid cooling of these leucogranites may have a genetic relationship with extension processes, as indicated by the timing of motion along the Qomolangma detachment. Cooling after argon closure was slower and the rapid cooling phase may have been ephemeral.
