Argon Geochronology @ argon.anu.edu.au

Determining when and how movement in the ductile zone of the Earth occur. Dating deformation and metamorphic events that occur at major zones of collision or extension during Earth's history.  Dating deformation and movement zones using Ar/Ar geochronology within the framework of structural geology and microstructure.

Thermal histories and evolution of metamorphic and igneous terranes using structural geology inconjuction with temperature/time histories of specific zones.

Temperature+time histories of alteration zones and fault zones. 

Present arenas: Australian lithosphere, SE Asia (Palawan, Sulawesi, Borneo, Java); NW Himalaya (Tso Morari, Ladakh, Rhotang); Greece (Aegean: Evia, Sifnos, Ios, Syros); European Alps, north America continent.
