Dating Brittle Deformation with Hematite (U-Th)/He Chronometry
This academic abstract page presents research on using hematite (U-Th)/He chronometry to directly date brittle deformation events, such as fault slip, by analyzing synkinematic hematite formation or post-seismic cooling in fault zones, with case studies from the Wasatch fault and Wales demonstrating its application in reconstructing tectonic histories and ancient seismicity. auto-generated The author of this page didn't provide a brief description so this one sentence summary was created by an AI tool.
