Methods and Applications for Geochronology provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the always growing and refining field of geochronology. The book's chapters are written by leading experts in their field of geochronology and involve practical information and ‘rules of thumb’ for establishing laboratories and using analytical equipment. This book is an authoritative guide, not just for the required background that a researcher will need to know, but also for its descriptions of analytical methods, guidance for sample selection, and comprehensive information on data reduction and presentation.
Universities, research institutes, and government agencies related to Earth-system sciences (e.g., geological surveys, Earth Science departments, geochronology laboratories, marine institutes, natural history museums). Mineral exploration, petroleum and natural gas exploration, and possibly other educational institution (e.g., technical colleges). Constraining the timing of deformation, deposition, or fluid remobilization is key to understanding mineral deposit formation. Moreover, providing new methods for fossil geochronology can help to assess petroleum potential as 70% of oil deposits were formed during the Mesozoic
