Rapid early Miocene exhumation of the Ladakh batholith, western Himalaya (2006)
Journal Article
Kirstein, L., Sinclair, H., Stuart, F., & Dobson, K. (2006). Rapid early Miocene exhumation of the Ladakh batholith, western Himalaya. Geology, 34(12), 1049-1052. https://doi.org/10.1130/g22857a.1

Zircon, apatite (U-Th)/He, and apatite fission-track age data record a rapid cooling event in the Ladakh batholith of northwest India ca. 22 Ma. A combination of inverse and forward modeling of the data confirms this qualitative interpretation. Combi... Read More about Rapid early Miocene exhumation of the Ladakh batholith, western Himalaya.

A diode laser system for heating minerals for (U-Th)/He chronometry (2006)
Journal Article
Foeken, J., Stuart, F., Dobson, K., Persano, C., & Vilbert, D. (2006). A diode laser system for heating minerals for (U-Th)/He chronometry. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 7(4), Article Q04015. https://doi.org/10.1029/2005gc001190

We have developed a diode laser (25 W, 808 nm) system for He extraction from minerals for (U-Th)/He chronometry. The laser beam is delivered via a 600 μm fiber cable and focused using a binocular microscope. Temperatures necessary for He release from...
