Dating of low-temperature thermal events on zircons: U-Th/He and fission-track methods

The aim of the project is based on using and development a new techniques for low-temperature thermal reconstruction of the rocks: fission-track zircon analysis and U-Th/He dating method on zircons. This work will result in establishing a model of tectonosedimentary development of the Antarctic James Ross Basin including thermal reconstruction of Cretaceous sediments and a model of erosional history of these rocks. Obtained data will be compared to the potential source areas.
