What Will I Learn?
Acquire a practical toolkit for confidently dating basalts, fluvial sands, tuffs, lake sediments, shelter deposits, and granitoids. Master the application of K-Ar, Ar-Ar, U-Pb, radiocarbon, luminescence, fission-track, and (U-Th)/He methods, sidestep common sampling and laboratory pitfalls, validate results through cross-checking, and construct dependable chronological models featuring precise uncertainty assessments.
