Complex geologic phenomena often produce kinematic and metamorphic records that can be difficult to decipher. Recent methodological advances and connections between geochemistry, petrology, and geochronology can provide insights into the structural, deformational, and thermal evolution of these regions. The spatial, microstructural, petrologic, and geochemical context for age data is critical for fingerprinting evolving styles of plate tectonic deformation and metamorphism, including their expression in different geodynamic settings.

We welcome contributions highlighting novel analyses and advances in in-situ geo and thermochronology techniques, as well as direct applications, particularly those integrated with their spatial and petrologic context. We encourage studies from various geologic environments and scales, including but not limited to rifted margins, subduction zones, metamorphic core complexes, impact craters, and extraterrestrial/meteoritic samples, where in-situ petro- or thermochronology can expose new insights into their structural and/or metamorphic evolution. We encourage submissions from scientists of all backgrounds and experience.
