Our course on the “advanced methods in
geochronology” lectures about the methods of the (1) in-situ U-Pb dating by
laser ablation and the (2) Ar/Ar dating by laser heating and ablation, and
their potentially applicable geoscientific topics. The laboratories for both
methods are in the institute and this makes our own careful and systematical application
of these methods to our own rock/mineral samples or stratigraphy relatively
easier. Their conventional to advanced methods with obtained radiometric ages as
well as isotope ratios are lectured and discussed with each correspondent target
samples and topics from the magmatic and metamorphic petrology, general geology
and so on. The course includes lectures, exercises and practices and the final
notes for this course will be scored by the submitted homework for both parts.
