U-Pb and Th-Pb dating of apatite by LA-ICPMS
(2011)
Apatite is a common U- and Th-bearing accessory mineral in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and a minor but widespread detrital component in clastic sedimentary rocks. U-Pb and Th-Pb dating of apatite has potential application ...
The interaction between volcanoes and strike-slip, transtensional and transpressional fault zones: Analogue models and natural examples
(Elsevier, 2011)
Regional strike-slip faulting can control magma movements, deform volcanoes and may destabilise their flanks. The aim of this study is to address this problem by comparing two natural examples, Basse Terre Island volcanoes, ...
Radon Potential as a diagnostic tool for indoor radon hazard mapping
(2019)
At over 56% of the annual effective dose, radon is the primary source of ionizing radiation exposure received by the Irish population. Although the average indoor radon concentration in Ireland has been reduced since ...
A Toba-scale eruption in the Early Miocene: the Semilir eruption, East Java, Indonesia
(2011)
The Indonesian archipelago is well known for volcanic activity and has been the location of three catastrophic eruptions in the last million years: Krakatau, Tambora and Toba. However, there are no reports of large magnitude ...
Was the latest Devonian glaciation a multiple event? New palynological evidence from Bolivia
(2011)
Assemblages of acritarchs, prasinophytes, and miospores were recovered from the uppermost Iquiri and lower portion of the Itacua formations in southeast Bolivia. Analysis of the diverse and somewhat abundant well-preserved ...
Chemical abrasion applied to SHRIMP zircon geochronology: An example from the Variscan Karkonosze Granite (Sudetes, SW Poland)
(2012)
Thermal annealing followed by acid etching of zircon (chemical abrasion or CA) can be successfully utilised to minimize or eliminate the effects of major and cryptic Pb-loss for SIMS U?Pb zircon dating. The procedure is ...
Re-Os geochronology of the Neoproterozoic - Cambrian Dalradian Supergroup of Scotland and Ireland: Implications for Neoproterozoic stratigraphy, glaciations and Re-Os systematics
(2011)
New Re-Os geochronology for the Ballachulish Slate Formation of the Dalradian Supergroup, Scotland yields a depositional age of 659.6 ? 9.6 Ma. This age represents the first successful application of the Re-Os system to ...
Exploitation of Decorative Stone in Victorian Ireland: From Quarry to Building
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2022)
Ireland contains a diverse range of rock types that are characterised as igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic in origin, which have been widely utilised for building, and to a lesser extent decorative, purposes over the ...
Geochronology of the Tardree Rhyolite Complex, Northern Ireland: Implications for zircon fission track studies, the North Atlantic Igneous Province and the age of the Fish Canyon sanidine standard
(2011)
The British-Irish Palaeogene Igneous Province (BIPIP) is part of the larger North Atlantic Igneous Province and includes the lava fields of Antrim, Mull, and Skye. The Tardree Rhyolite Complex (TRC) in Northern Ireland ...
