I also co-lead the AGeS (Awards for Geochronology Student) research program, which is aimed at promoting training and new interactions between students, scientists, and geochronology labs at different institutions. My lab especially seeks creative, collaborative applications of (U-Th)/He data to problems in fields in which the technique has not typically been utilized (e.g., to constrain lunar impact histories, calibrate mantle dynamic models, date kimberlite emplacement). My group has focused on deciphering the history and causes of unroofing, uplift, and topography in diverse settings, and on the development and refinement of both novel and conventional (U-Th)/He thermochronometers. I now run a (U-Th)/He geochronology lab at the University of Colorado Boulder. I subsequently completed a postdoc at Caltech in Ken Farley’s lab where I was trained in the methods, applications, and development of (U-Th)/He geo- and thermochronology. I am also interested in the application and specifically the chronology of the stratigraphic record, working on time intervals from the Paleoproterozoic to the Holocene, through a range of collaborative projects.Įmail: and Twitter was first exposed to EARTHTIME as a PhD student in Sam Bowring’s lab. I have also been involved with developing the EARTHTIME programme with colleagues in Europe and in recent years been working with this ad hoc group, organising some workshops to plan the future of this international community endeavour. My involvement in EARTHTIME has been focused on the U-Pb calibration efforts, expansion to bring in groups such as the microbeam U-Pb, Re-Os and U-Th isotope dilution communities. Up until 2005 I was a post-doc working as part of the Bowring group at MIT, and then I moved back to the UK (as a NERC Fellow) to work at the NERC Isotope Geosciences Facility at the British Geological Survey and I have not managed to leave yet! I have been involved with the EARTHTIME Initiative since the 2003 Smithsonian Workshop.
