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
