A new method for amino acid geochronology of the shell of the bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica [PDF]
The bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica can live for hundreds of years, and its shell has provided a valuable resource for sclerochronological studies and geochemical analyses for understanding palaeoenvironmental change. Shell specimens recovered from the

An optimization tool for identifying multiple-diffusion domain model parameters [PDF]
The multiple-diffusion domain (MDD) model empirically describes the diffusive behavior of noble gases in some terrestrial materials and has been commonly used to interpret 40Ar/39Ar stepwise degassing observations in K-feldspar.

Short communication: Nanoscale heterogeneity of U and Pb in baddeleyite from atom probe tomography – 238U series alpha recoil effects and U atom clustering [PDF]
Atom probe tomography (APT) of 238U and 206Pb has been applied to baddeleyite crystals from the Hart Dolerite (1791±1 Ma) and the Great Dyke of Mauritania (2732±2 Ma) in an effort to constrain the average nuclear recoil distance of 238U series daughter ...

Trace element composition of silicate minerals from Kunashak Meteorite (L6)
Major (EPMA) and trace (SIMS) element geochemistry in the silicate minerals (olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase) of Kunashak equilibrated ordinary chondrite (L6) is described. No variations in the major element concentrations of the silicate minerals have

Nonparametric estimation of age–depth models from sedimentological and stratigraphic information [PDF]
Age–depth models are fundamental tools used in all geohistorical disciplines. They assign stratigraphic positions to ages (e.g., in drill cores or outcrops), which is necessary to estimate rates of past environmental change and establish timing of events
