Abstract: A compilation of fission track data is presented here to show from where fission track data are available in Fennoscandia and to highlight potential targets for future research. Because of the relatively small number of fission track data for zircon and titanite, emphasis is put on apatite fission track data. Because of the constraints the apatite fission track database puts on vertical movements, it is a valuable tool for example for work on regional geomorphology and can be used as a baseline for onshore offshore correlations. On the basis of sample elevation, rock type, apatite chemistry, analytical approach and data quality, a selection of apatite fission track ages and mean track lengths are presented to focus attention on first order patterns in the available datasets. The patterns of ages and mean track lengths are clearly representative of Mesozoic and Cenozoic vertical movements along the present-day Norwegian Atlantic margin, and of Paleozoic and older vertical movements further into the cratonic interior. Previously published interpretations of the available data are discussed here in brief. The current compilation will be updated when new data become available, and be available as an electronic supplement from the Geological Survey of Norway.

Thermal evolution of the northeastern Siberian platform in the light of apatite fission-track dating of the deep drill core
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used apatite fission track ages to estimate the ages of the continental crust of the Sibe-Rian craton, which is the most similar to ours.
Long-term exhumation of a Palaeoproterozoic orogen and the role of pre-existing heterogeneous thermal crustal properties: a fission-track study of SE Baffin Island
E. D. McGregor,E. D. McGregor,S. B. Nielsen,Randell Stephenson,Randell Stephenson,K. D. Petersen,David MacDonald +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used inverse thermal modeling of single samples to show that cooling through the partial annealing zone ( c. 120 − 60 °C) occurred over discrete periods ranging from 100 to 300 Ma, and the remaining variability in the observed dataset is attributed to differential erosion from a variable initial topography.

Thermal annealing of fission tracks in apatite: 1. A qualitative description
TL;DR: The annealing of fission tracks in apatite appears to be characterised by two processes as mentioned in this paper, the dominant process brings about a progressive shrinking of the track from each end, with tracks perpendicular to the c-axis shortening more rapidly than those parallel to it.

(U-Th)/He Dating: Techniques, Calibrations, and Applications
TL;DR: Theler and coworkers as mentioned in this paper proposed that in the case of apatite, He ages might be interpreted as ages of cooling through very low temperatures, a value that was supported by more recent studies.

Variability of apatite fission-track annealing kinetics: III. Extrapolation to geological time scales
TL;DR: In this article, a model for examining fission track data from natural specimens has been developed on the basis of new laboratory data describing fission-track annealing in a wide variety of apatites and the empirical correction for fissiontrack length anisotropy presented in earlier papers.
Apatite Fission-Track Analysis
TL;DR: Apatite fission track analysis has been widely used during the past 30+ years to constrain the low-temperature thermal histories of many igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks in a wide range of geological settings as discussed by the authors.

Fission track analysis and its applications to geological problems
TL;DR: Fission track analysis has been applied to a variety of geological problems, including sedimentary provenance, thermal history modeling of sedimentary basins, structural evolution of orogenic belts, and long-term continental denudation as discussed by the authors.
