In situ U-Pb apatite ages combined with Sr-Sr and Sm-Nd for petrochronology
AIRG is currently improving new methods to obtain in situ isotope information of apatite. The mineral apatite is a key mineral for thermochronology studies via U/Th–He, fission-track and U-Pb dating.

BUILDING OROGENS
Anatexis of the continental crust with the efficient extraction of granitoid melts is a fundamental process that governs the internal architecture of a number of orogenic belts around the world.

EVOLVING CRATONS
The South American and African continents are riddled with a number of continental blocks (or cratons) that have been shielded from mantle convection by thick roots of mantle lithosphere. A
