GChron: 7 years and counting of Open Access Geochronology!

Geochronology is fundamental to many aspects of the Geosciences. Constraining timing and rates is essential for understanding geological, geomorphological and environmental processes. However, advances in geochronological methods and new applications are often hidden within the various Geoscience sub-disciplines which limits the opportunity for exchange innovations between geochronologists specialised in different techniques.Launched in 2019, GChron provides a platform for the discussion and dissemination of innovative geochronological research that cuts across disciplines, thereby facilitating better communication between experts in different geochronological techniques. It is hoped that this enhanced communication will foster innovation between techniques, providing clear benefits to the Geosciences.Since 2019, GChron’s submissions have stabilised at ~50 per year, attracting cutting-edge contributions from researchers worldwide.
