Two of the most fundamental problems in geology are time resolution and Earth’s history recorded in sedimentary archives. My career-long focus has been in exploring the potential for directly dating sedimentary carbonates with U-Pb. This involves the study of carbonates to understand the environmental conditions in which they formed. In addition to careful petrographic study, I approach sample selection for U-Pb dating from several directions including 1) a focus on the controls on U speciation in depositional environments and how this controls its incorporation into carbonates, 2) trace element mapping, particularly taking advantage of my proximity to the NSLS II, 3) fission track maps, and 4) autoradiography. Laser ablation methods have dramatically improved our ability to identify carbonates with potential for dating. I have been involved in the early innovations for using laser ablation ICPMS dating of carbonates with colleagues from the British Survey. We have provided the most widely used LA U-Pb reference material- WC-1 (Roberts et al., 2017). In addition to carbonates, the availability of the LA-ICPMS has allowed me and my group to explore other archives that might be dateable by U-Pb including fluorite and nacrite (Piccione et al., 2019).
Another major focus of my research is the application of boron isotopes to understanding rocks, soils, waters, and plants. I have collaborated on projects involving igneous rocks and what they tell us about the mantle source (Hulett et al., 2016; Smit et al., 2019), as well as developing improved techniques to analyze silicate rocks (Cai et al, 2021); on using boron to trace nitrate in groundwater (Tamborski et al., 2020); on brachiopod fossils from across the Late Paleozoic (320-270 Ma) to examine changes in ocean chemistry (Legett et al., 2020, Rasbury and Hemming, 2017); and in seaweed, showing that only borate is taken up by these primitive plants (Wright et al., 2021).
