505 Methods and Geological Applications in Geo-Thermo-Petro-Chronology I

Part I of this course will focus on chemical systems and geologic questions commonly interrogated by Laser Ablation–Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry analysis of minerals including U-Th-Pb, Lu-Hf, and trace and rare earth elements. Although the emphasis will be on detrital geochronology and petrochronology of zircon, we will include discussions of additional mineral phases (e.g., apatite, titanite, monazite). Part I will be organized into two parts; the first half will be lecture-based and focus on theory, while the second half will be hands-on data interpretation using new MATLAB-based software tools for data reduction, analysis, visualization, and archiving. This course is geared toward geoscience faculty, professional scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Part II of this course takes place on Saturday (517).
