The chronologic record encoded in accessory minerals, based on the radioactive decay of U
and Th, is indispensable to extract quantitative process rates over timescales encompassing …

Abstract Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) and Sediment Generation (SG) are two branches
of sedimentary geology which are complementary, although their full integration remains …

The calculation of a maximum depositional age (MDA) from a detrital zircon sample can
provide insight into a variety of geological problems. However, the impact of sample size …

The formation and evolution of the landscape of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is
debated because of uncertainties regarding dust provenance. We present a quantitative …

The increase in detrital geochronological data presents challenges to existing approaches
to data visualization and comparison, and highlights the need for quantitative techniques …

Detrital geochronology and thermochronology have emerged as primary methods of
reconstructing the tectonic and surficial evolution of the Earth over geological time …

Despite recent advances in quantitative methods of detrital provenance analysis, there is
currently no widely accepted method of unmixing detrital geochronology age distributions …

The ability to quantify the (dis) similarity between detrital age distributions is an essential
aspect of sedimentary provenance studies. This paper reviews three different ways to do …

The practice of using the youngest detrital grains from a sedimentary deposit to constrain its
depositional age has grown rapidly over the past two decades. Researchers that use the …

We present a statistical approach to data mining and quantitatively evaluating detrital age
spectra for sedimentary provenance analyses and palaeogeographic reconstructions …
