Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

The chronologic record encoded in accessory minerals, based on the radioactive decay of U
and Th, is indispensable to extract quantitative process rates over timescales encompassing …

Past interglacial climates with smaller ice sheets offer analogs for ice sheet response to
future warming and contributions to sea level rise; however, well-dated geologic records …

Precise and accurate U–Pb LA–ICPMS dating of many U-bearing accessory minerals (eg
apatite, allanite, titanite and rutile) is often compromised by common Pb. LA–ICPMS dating …

Lusingle bond Hf geochronology is a powerful method to constrain the temporal evolution of
geological systems. Traditional application of this dating method requires time-consuming …

Interpreting the wealth of new data derived from the diverse suite of modern single-grain
provenance approaches available to a sedimentologist requires a thorough understanding …

This study investigates the behaviour of the Zr-in-rutile and Ti-in-zircon thermometers in
granulite facies metapelites from the Ivrea-Verbano Zone lower crustal section. U–Pb ages …

Type and amount of sediment generation are intimately connected to tectonic and climatic
processes active at the earth's surface today as well as throughout the geologic past. Detrital …

Abstract The Rb-Sr beta-decay dating system is one of the most attractive tools in
geochronology, as Rb is sufficiently abundant in common K-bearing minerals like biotite …

Rutile (TiO2) is an important accessory mineral that, when present, offers a rich source of
information about the rock units in which it is incorporated. It occurs in a variety of specific …
