One Hundred Years Of Isotope Geochronology
February 2013, Vol. 9, No. 1
In 1913, Frederick Soddy’s research on the fundamentals of radioactivity led to the discovery of “isotopes.” That same year, Arthur Holmes published his now famous booklet The Age of the Earth. Combined, these two landmark events established the field of science we know as “isotope geochronology.” Today, isotope geochronology underpins much of our knowledge of the absolute age of minerals and rocks, and the records they contain. This field is constantly evolving, reflecting and responding to scientific drivers that require more highly resolved timescales, the microscopic analysis of smaller zoned minerals, or the generation of robust data sets in novel materials. This series of articles provides perspectives on the state of the art in the field of radioisotope dating—from the challenges of dating the Solar System’s oldest materials to resolving the record of Quaternary climate change, and the four and a half billion years in between.
