The Age of Globular Clusters [PDF]
I review here recent developments which have affected our understanding of both the absolute age of globular clusters and the uncertainties in this age estimate, and comment on the implications for cosmological models.

SIMS zircon ages and Nd isotope systematics of the 2.2 Ga mafic intrusions in northern and eastern Finland [PDF]
Using the SIMS, ID-TIMS and Sm-Nd isotopic methods and the electron microprobe, we have studied several differentiated mafic intrusions of the c. 2.2 Ga gabbro-wehrlite association (GWA) from four Paleoproterozoic schist belts and the Archean Kuhmo ...

On the deglaciation chronology of the Palivere ice-marginal zone, northern Estonia [PDF]
This paper presents new bio-, litho- and chronostratigraphical evidence from two adjacent sediment sequences of the Tõdva and Saku basins, northern Estonia that refine the age estimate of the Palivere ice-marginal zone and the deglaciation history of ...

Lead and neodymium isotopic results from metabasalts of the Haveri Formation, southern Finland: Evidence for Palaeoproterozoic enriched mantle [PDF]
Tholeiitic metabasalts and coexisting sulphides have been analysed for their Pb and Nd isotopic compositions from the Proterozoic Haveri Formation, which forms the basal unit of the Tampere Schist Belt in southern Finland. Ten whole rock samples analysed

Structural evolution of the Vuotso area, Finnish Lapland [PDF]
The Vuotso area is structurally interesting because the fold interference pattern in rocks of central Lapland changes into thrust-related foliation of the Lapland Granulite Belt.

U-Pb zircon determinations from the Keikyä Breccia and other sites in the Svecofennides: indications of a Svecokarelian protocrust [PDF]
Heterogeneous zircon populations from four different localities within the Svecofennian area in Finland demonstrate that the ca. 1890 Ma old syntectonic granitoids contain older material, probably belonging to the ca. 1950 Ma Svecofennian protocrust, the

Strong spectral lines are useful indicators of stellar chromospheric activity. They are physically linked to the convection efficiency, differential rotation, and angular momentum evolution and are a potential indicator of age. However, for ages > 2 Gyr,

Deuterium-burning in substellar objects [PDF]
We consider the depletion of primordial deuterium in the interior of substellar objects as a function of mass, age and absolute magnitude in several photometric passbands.
