THERMOCHRONOLOGY · THERMAL HISTORY

ThermoExplorer

A thermochronology workspace for tracing the relationship between pressure–temperature–time paths, argon diffusion and the apparent-age spectra that minerals preserve.

Explore all apps iPadOS + macOS

WHAT IT DOES

Build a thermal history, model how argon moves, and compare the spectrum that history should produce.

01 · PATHS

Shape a geological history.

Create arbitrary P–T–t paths or start from cooling, thermal-pulse and exhumation path generators.

02 · DIFFUSION

Resolve multiple domains.

Model slab, cylindrical and spherical diffusion across single, multi-domain and branching structures.

03 · INVERSION

Test histories against data.

Simulate step heating, calculate apparent ages and explore Monte Carlo P–T–t inversion and sensitivity.
