Geochronology

the temperature of a cooling mineral below which daughter isotopes stop diffusing out, so the radiometric age dates passage through that temperature.

In geochronology, closure temperature refers to the temperature of a cooling mineral below which daughter isotopes stop diffusing out, so the radiometric age dates passage through that temperature. This meaning comes from Dodson (1973) in Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology.[1]
