Efficient techniques for mineral separation are important in almost all geochronological studies. From year 2000, we have used the so called “water-based technique (pdf, new tab)” for separation of baddeleyite (and zircon). Baddeleyite is a reliable geochronometer for dating the crystallization of mafic and other silica-undersaturated rocks. The technique is based on the observation that small gra

1. Circa 0,5 kg sample is sawed in 1-cm thick slices using an ordinary slab saw. 2. After washing and drying, the slices are reduced in size to cm-large pieces by using a small sledge hammer. 3. In order to get a very fine-grained sample (almost powder), we use a small swing mill. 4. After adding some water, the sample is loaded in ca. 50 g portions on a Wilfley-Holman 700 water-shaking tab

Palaeomagnetic and mineral magnetic data are used in a wide variety of Earth science disciplines. Reconstructions of the direction and intensity of the Earth's geomagnetic field can be produced from studies of igneous rocks, sediments and ceramic artefacts. These reconstructions can be used to (i) correlate and date geological archives and (ii) help us understand how the geomagnetic field is gener

Lund University Palaeomagnetic Laboratory is well equipped to measure natural and artificially induced magnetisations. The "flagship" of the laboratory is a 2G-Enterprises superconducting rock magnetometer (model 760), with in-line alternating field demagnetization coils, in-line DC coil for acquisition of anhysteric remanent magnetisations and a separate off-line pulse magnetiser for acquisition

The Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory in Lund performs dating on geological and archaeological samples. Examples of material that we date are wood, charcoal, peat, macrofossils, bone and marine shells. The analyses are based on Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS).Natural 14C can be used in numerous applications, of which radiocarbon dating, with the possibility for dating back to about 50000 years, is

The Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at Lund University performs dating on geological and archaeological samples. Examples of material that we date are wood, charcoal, charred seeds, plant macrofossils, peat, bone, burnt bone, mollusc shells, and foraminifera. We also measure 14C in modern samples for determination of biomass content in e.g. plastics, and for environmental monitoring in collaboration

growth, collision and break-up The Earth’s crust is formed and continuously reworked by magmatic and metamorphic processes as a consequence of plate tectonics and by mantle plume activity. Our research is directed towards reconstructions of continental blocks (e.g. supercontinents), terrane analysis in time and space, and crustal growth through time. Our research is done in close collaboration wit
