Methods and Applications of Geochronology provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the rapidly developing field of geochronology. Chapters are written by leading experts in their specific field of geochronology and discuss practical information and 'rules of thumb' for establishing laboratories and using analytical equipment. Methods and Applications of Geochronology is an authoritative guide not only for the foundational principles of geochronological research, but also descriptions of analytical methods, guidance for sample selection, all the way to data reduction and presentation. - Features the latest techniques and recommended tools for each of the most common geochronological methods - Includes perspectives from a variety of well-respected researchers in the field, each representing different specialties of geochronology - Bridges the gap between theory and application, offering best practices and relevant case studies throughout
Dyke swarms are remnants of large igneous provinces, and are pointers of continental break-up events, as well as indicators for ancient continental reconstructions. These global geodynamic aspects are of crucial significance in tectonics, and with recent developments in high-precision age, dating it has become possible to enter these short-lived ma

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricacies of large igneous provinces (LIPs) by adopting a multidisciplinary approach; unraveling the geological, thermal, and biological repercussions of LIP formation. The rapid emplacement of these provinces, often associated with continental break-up, mineral deposits, and mass extinctions, remains a subject of intense debate. This book presents an accessible yet detailed analysis of several Phanerozoic LIPs, strategically selected for their scientific significance, arranged chronologically. The book provides a foundational reference for LIPs, utilising a chapter-wide template to facilitate chapter-by-chapter ...
"This Memoir focuses on 7 'turning points' that had specific and lasting impacts on Laurentian evolution: The Neoarchean, characterized by cratonization; the Paleoproterozoic and the initial assembly of Laurentia; the Mesoproterozoic southern margin of Laurentia; the Midcontinent rift and the Grenville orogeny; (5) the Neoproterozoic breakup of Rodinia; the mid-Paleozoic phases of the Appalachian-Caledonian orogen; and the Jurassic-Paleogene assembly of the North American Cordillerar"--
