    Abstract

    Zircon U–Pb is the principal radiometric dating technique, yet associated biases may hamper interpretations of geological phenomena. This thesis presents isotopic (U–Pb, Lu–Hf, Sm–Nd) and chemical data for apatite and rutile to demonstrate how accessory minerals can complement conventional zircon geochronology. Holistic insights into processes occurring over geological time can be obtained through a multi-mineral and isotopic system approach to geochronology.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
