Summary:

Decoding the complete history of Earth and our solar system requires the placing of the scattered pages of Earth history in a precise chronological order. The 40Ar/39Ar dating technique has been in use for more than 40 years, and has constantly evolved since then, largely due to a better understanding of the K/Ar system, an appreciation of the subtleties of geological material and a continuous refinement of the analytical tools used for isotope extraction and counting. This volume covers methodological developments, modelling, data handling, and direct applications of the 40Ar/39Ar technique.
