碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学在地学中的应用

etrital zircon geochronology has a rapid development as an essential tool in geological research. because of the widespread occurrence of zircon in sedimentary systems; abundant geological information that can be extracted from zircon crystals; and the ability to determine ages with reasonable precision, accuracy and efficiency, the applications of detrital zircon geochronologic information arise lots of new ideas. A reliable geologic age comes from a set of measured U-Th-Pb dates. Many Issues arise like Pb loss can result in that the measured dates do not correspond to the true age of crystallization. Ages can be used to constrain maximum depositional age, reconstruct provenance, characterize source regions, and apply to other aspects. In the future, Detrital zircon geochronology need enhance precision; accuracy and efficiency.
