Time-temperature constraints are vital to quantify and describe a large variety of geological processes, such as relief building, erosion and sedimentation or the maturation of organic matter in sedimentary basins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter a brief history covering the discovery of fission tracks to their first applications in geochronology, \u003ci\u003eFission-track Thermochronology\u003c\/i\u003e presents a complete description of not only the fission-track, but also the (U Th Sm)\/He thermochronology approaches, both on basement rocks and on sediments. Firstly, the physical and chemical processes that underlie these techniques are addressed, and the analytical methods are described in detail. A particular focus is placed on the latest developments, such as the use of laser-ablation ICP-MS, and a whole chapter is dedicated to statistical modeling of the data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, numerous examples of applications to geological questions will provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the possibilities of low temperature thermochronology in solving geological and geomorphological questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Jolivet\u003c\/b\u003e is a researcher at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France, and is a geomorphologist interested in the long-term evolution of continental landscapes.
