Deep continental roots and cratons
The formation and preservation of cratons—the oldest parts of the continents, comprising
over 60 per cent of the continental landmass—remains an enduring problem. Key to craton …

Ti-in-zircon thermometry: applications and limitations
The titanium concentrations of 484 zircons with U-Pb ages of∼ 1 Ma to 4.4 Ga were
measured by ion microprobe. Samples come from 45 different igneous rocks (365 zircons) …
