Funded Activity Summary

Nanoscale investigation of fission track formation and stability in geological environments. Fission tracks are used to date and constrain the thermal history of the earth's crust. This project will use innovative experimental techniques to simulate fission track formation under geologically relevant conditions and resolve open questions related to fission-track dating and materials behaviour in high-pressure and high temperature environments.
