Reconstructed extent of Paganzo Basin and potential source rocks. Modified after Ducea et al. (2012); Otamendi et al. (2020) and references therein.
​
My dissertation consists of three projects:
-
Developing detrital monazite (U-Th)/He dating through further characterization of He diffusion in monazite using Raman Spectroscopy and Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA).
-
Applying detrital monazite (U-Th)/(He-Pb) double dating in Paganzo Basin (ARG) along with detrital zircon U-Pb and detrital k-feldspar Ar/Ar dating and complementary basin analysis methods.
-
Deciphering thermal evolution of Paganzo Basin by additional detrital zircon and apatite (U-Th)/He dating and subsidence analysis.
​
​These projects are in collaboration with Departamento de Geología, Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto (ARG) and Department of Earth and Oceanographic Science, Bowdoin College (USA).

Project collaborators during fieldwork in Argentina (Oct 2023).
