Abstract:
In order to evaluate the electron microprobe (EMP) method for chemical dating of monazite, we chemically analyzed selected suites of monazite grains that were previously dated by standard U/Pb isotopic methods at three laboratories each equipped with a sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP). Representing diverse igneous and metamorphic lithologies, these grains yielded conventional isotopic ages ranging in age from Neoarchean to Devonian. Chemical dating was performed at Virginia Tech using a Cameca SX-50 EMP in which the analytical routines and settings were specifically optimized

Full text
Abstract:
U–Pb and U-series analyses of U-rich, relative to both Th and Pb, opal samples using sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) demonstrate the ability of this technique for dating opals with ages ranging from several tens of thousands of years to millions of years and from a variety of deposition environments. This experimental study increases the understanding of opal as a geochronometer and explores the stability of U-Th-Pb systematics in opaline silica.

Abstract:
Precise chronologies of climate events in the tropics are rare yet essential for understanding how tropical climate relates to global climate at millennial to longer time scales. An increasingly important area for understanding these interactions is the southern Bolivian Altiplano (15-22oS) which represents the waning and southeastern end of the South American Monsoon, a system that is, today, modulated by regional upper-air circulation anomalies under the influence of tropical Pacific sea-surface temperature gradients associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Full text
Abstract:
Zircon (U-Th)/He (zircon He) dating has become a widely used thermochronologic method in the geosciences. Practitioners have traditionally interpreted (U-Th)/He dates from zircons across a broad spectrum of chemical compositions with a single set of ⁴He diffusion kinetics derived from only a handful of crystals (Reiners et al., 2004). However, it has become increasingly clear that a "one-size-fits-all" approach to these kinetics is inadequate, leading to erroneous conclusions and incongruent data. This dissertation develops a more grain-specific approach by showing the fundamental role that in

Full text
Abstract:
In order to avoid the damaging climatic consequences of rising atmospheric CO2, and reduce current atmospheric CO2 concentrations to pre-industrial levels, anthropogenic CO2 emissions must be mitigated by capturing CO2 at power plants and storing it for thousands of years. Underground storage within deep geological formations, such as depleted gas and oil fields or deep saline aquifers, is the best understood solution for storage of CO2. In order for this method to gain more public and political acceptance it is important to characterise the potential causes, quantities and rates of CO2 releas

Abstract:
Water is a politically sensitive resource in the Near East and water stress is increasing. It is therefore vital that there is a strong understanding of past hydrological variability, so that the drivers of change can be better understood, and so that the links between the palaeoclimate and archaeological records in this key region in the development of human civilisation can be investigated. To be of most use, this requires high resolution records and a good understanding of palaeoseasonality. A sediment sequence spanning ~14,000 years has been retrieved from Nar Gölü, a lake in central Turke

Abstract:
Uplift of the Teton Range is primarily controlled by displacement across the range-front Teton normal fault. The Tetons comprise the footwall block while the hanging wall encompasses Jackson Hole valley and a portion of the Snake River. Relative to the rest of the Rocky Mountains, the Tetons experienced the majority of uplift very recently, substantiating the need for a detailed investigation integrating structural analysis and bedrock thermochronometry. New low-temperature cooling ages are documented in three vertical transects across the Teton Range and at low elevations parallel to the T
