SUERC awarded the EARTHTIME 205Pb-233U-235U tracer solution

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 17:25:00 BST

Darren Mark, Anne Kelly and Vincent Gallagher application for the EARTHTIME 5-3-5 tracer solution successful. The tracer is expected to arrive at SUERC autumn 2020 and will allow for significant improvements in accuracy and precision for U-Pb ages owing to improved fractionation control during mass spectrometric measurement.

First SUERC high-precision U-Pb study published

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 17:20:00 BST

Darren Mark along with Vincent Gallagher and Anne Kelly have published the first high-precision zircon U-Pb age data collected at SUERC in our new geochronology suite. The CA-ID-TIMS measurements were made using our 205Pb-235U inhouse spike and provide age constraints for key fossil-bearing sequences within Wales.

Thomas Bayes - Bayes' Theorem
Thomas Bayes - Bayes' Theorem

SUERC Postgraduate Student, Jack Carter, has published his first paper from his PhD research.

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 17:15:00 BST

Jack along with Marissa Tremblay and Darren Mark present a Bayesian method for the analysis and interpretation of 40Ar/39Ar step-heating spectra that result from mixing of multiple components, where a component is defined by both its age and mineral composition. This is the first of three papers that Jack will publish in the next few months.
