Earth Sciences: Geology: Geochronology

Non-profit scientific research institution dedicated to establishing the history of the Earth, its various inhabitants, and its interactions with the rest of our Solar System, throughout the 4.6 billion years of our Planet's existence.

Uses radiometric dating and classical geochronological methods to constrain the timing of geological processes, primarily in the Eastern Alps, the Carpathian - Pannonian region and adjoining area, and the Bohemian Massif. Includes descriptions of several isotopic techniques.

USGS on-line publication about the relative and radiometric geologic time scales, age of the earth, index fossils, and related topics.

Lecture notes on different methods of measuring geologic time.

Describes this method, used primarily to date marine sediments, and provides access to the global seawater strontium curve and a user-friendly table for converting 87Sr/86Sr values to numerical ages.

Chart correlates geologic, paleontologic, and absolute time scales, also including glaciations.

Geologic time scale with links for each time interval.
