Ages, Rates and Timescales of Geological Processes - GEOS776
This unit describes and explores the underpinnings of the tools employed in geochronology and geochemistry in order to unravel the timing and duration of geological phenomena. Primarily focussed on high temperature geochemistry, this course will employ applications spanning from diffusion modelling in magma chambers, through zircon geochronology to model ages in addition to tracing the passage of materials through the solid Earth. A background in the analytical techniques used to attain such data will also be included.
