- Geochronology Working Group at Vienna University - Uses radiometric dating and classical geochronological methods to constrain the timing of geological processes, primarily in the Eastern Alps, the Carpathian - Pannonian region and adjoining area, and the Bohemian Massif. Includes descriptions of several isotopic techniques.
- Berkeley Geochronology Center - Non-profit scientific research institution dedicated to establishing the history of the Earth, its various inhabitants, and its interactions with the rest of our Solar System, throughout the 4.6 billion years of our Planet's existence.
- Douglas Henderson's Earth History Illustrations - The works of artist Douglas Henderson, an illustrator of scientific reconstructions of earth history
- Luminescence Dating Laboratory - Luminescence dating is a Quaternary dating method used to determine the age of a sample. The method was initially developed in the 1960's for dating pottery.
- Links to Luminescence Laboratories - Short list of internet links maintained by Aberystwyth Luminescence Dating Laboratory.
- Radiometric Dating - Educational materials on the topic.
- Radiometric Dating: A Christian Perspective - Presents a broad overview of radiometric dating techniques and refutes various misconceptions held by Christians who doubt these methods because they contradict their beliefs in a young earth.
- A Radiometric Dating Resource List - Large annotated directory of internet resources on radiocarbon and other radioactive dating methods, including creationists' views and scientific critiques of those views.
- Radiometric Time Scale - Discusses the uses of limitations of different radiometric dating techniques.
- Strontium Isotope Stratigraphy - Describes this method, used primarily to date marine sediments, and provides access to the global seawater strontium curve and a user-friendly table for converting 87Sr/86Sr values to numerical ages.
Wikipedia Articles
- Geochronology - Geochronology is the science of determining the absolute age of rocks, fossils, and sediments, within a certain degree of uncertainty inherent within the method used. A variety of dating methods are used by geologists to achieve this.
- Richard Lee Armstrong - Richard Lee “Dick” Armstrong PhD, FRSC (August 4, 1937 – August 9, 1991) was an American/Canadian scientist who was an expert in the fields of radiogenic isotope geochemistry and geochronology, geochemical evolution of the earth, geology of the American Cordillera, and large-magnitude crustal extension. He published over 170 scientific papers.
- International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior - The International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior, or IAVCEI, is an association that represents the primary international focus for research in volcanology, efforts to mitigate volcanic disasters, and research into closely related disciplines, such as igneous geochemistry and petrology, geochronology, volcanogenic mineral deposits, and the physics of the generation and ascent of magmas in the upper mantle and crust.
- Ice divide - An ice divide is the boundary on an ice sheet, ice cap or glacier separating opposing flow directions of ice, analogous to a water divide. Such ice divides are important for geochronology investigations using ice cores, because such coring is typically made on top of a dome of an ice sheet to avoid interferences caused by horizontal ice movement.
- John Kappelman - John Kappelman is professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin. His research centers on hominoid evolution and human origins, including paleoecology, functional morphology, stratigraphy and geochronology.
