In apatite (U–Th)/He thermochronology the helium distribution in a crystal is a function of the simultaneous processes of radiogenic production, thermally activated volume diffusion and the ejection of He caused by long alpha stopping distances. Thes... Read More about Accounting for long alpha-particle stopping distances in (U–Th–Sm)/He geochronology: 3D modeling of diffusion, zoning, implantation, and abrasion.

The depth of pseudotachylyte formation from detailed thermochronology and constraints on coseismic stress drop variability (2012)
Journal Article
Kirkpatrick, J., Dobson, K., Mark, D., Shipton, Z., Brodsky, E., & Stuart, F. (2012). The depth of pseudotachylyte formation from detailed thermochronology and constraints on coseismic stress drop variability. Journal of Geophysical Research, 117(B6), Article B06406. https://doi.org/10.1029/2011jb008846

[1] Pseudotachylytes are accepted as recording paleo-seismicity in the rock record. However, the interpretation of the mechanics of faulting based on pseudotachylyte generation is often hindered because the depth at which they form is poorly constrai...
