Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …

Diamond crystallization ages are essential information for science and industry, leading to
an understanding of how, why, and where diamonds form in Earth and how best to find …

Subduction zones are unique to Earth and fundamental in its evolution, yet we still know little
about the causes and mechanisms of their initiation. Numerical models show that far-field …

Lusingle bond Hf geochronology is a powerful method to constrain the temporal evolution of
geological systems. Traditional application of this dating method requires time-consuming …

This second edition is fully updated to include new developments in the study of
metamorphism as well as enhanced features to facilitate course teaching. It integrates a …

At the core of petrochronology is the relationship between geochronology and the
petrological evolution of major mineral assemblages. The focus of this chapter is on …

Recent advances in laser ablation reaction-cell mass spectrometry have opened the
possibility for rapid and efficient Lu-Hf age dating of a variety of minerals. Of particular …

The study of subduction-related high-pressure-and ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks
exposed in orogenic belts is critical for unraveling the tectonothermal evolution of an orogen …

Unravelling the timing and rate of subduction-zone metamorphism and H 2 O release
requires linking time to the compositional changes of petrogenetic indicator minerals in …

We use coupled zoned geochronology and thermodynamic modeling of garnet to elucidate
the nature and scale of metamorphic dehydration during Eocene subduction of a …
