Chemical Abrasion Applied to LA-ICP-MS U-Pb Zircon Geochronology
(2014)Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most commonly used mineral in U–Pb geochronology. Although it has proven to be a robust chronometer, it can suffer from Pb-loss or elevated common Pb, both of which impede precision and accuracy of ... -
Expert Perspectives & Methodological Excerpts: A Creative Semi-Fictionalised Epistolary Describing A Student Voice Led Study Of Irish Teens' Engagement With Earth Science & Climate Change
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Education. Discipline of Education, 2020)Today’s teens have seen the writing on the wall, as oceans rise and global superpowers fall. Schoolchildren take to the streets and make crucial pleas, challenging the powers that be. Meanwhile, in Ireland, Junior Cycle ... -
High-precision U-Pb dating of complex zircon from the Lewisian Gneiss Complex of Scotland using an incremental CA-ID-TIMS approach
(2015)A novel approach of thermally annealing and sequentially partially dissolving single zircon grains prior to high-precision Isotope Dilution Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ID-TIMS) is presented. This technique is ... -
Temperature time evolution of the Assynt Terrane of the Lewisian Gneiss Complex of Northwest Scotland from zircon U-Pb dating and Ti thermometry
(2015)The Lewisian Gneiss Complex of Northwest Scotland is a classic Precambrian basement gneiss complex. The Lewisian is divided into a number of terranes on the basis of structural, metamorphic and geochronological evidence. ...
