I agree, Todd Ehlers is a master of many things, that being one of them!<BR/><BR/>When I say "corners the market" I mean that He folks can't get more information out of their ages than the actual age (unless you take the David Shuster approach, but that is not something many people can do yet). Ar folks can model their data, but I have a great amount of respect for FT length modeling, I think it is one of the better developed and reliable ways to create thermal models for a sample.Thermochronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606230819461771700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-56942696901783161812008-05-04T17:59:00.000-04:002008-05-04T17:59:00.000-04:00In my experience, many thermochronologists who com...In my experience, many thermochronologists who come from a noble gas background look down on FT.<BR/><BR/>Bad attitudes are part of the reason I left the Tt business.<BR/><BR/>Not sure what you mean by "corners the market on thermal modeling". I'd argue that the really good thermal modeling is done by people who specialize in it, like Ehlers at Michigan.<BR/><BR/>-The Lesser HalfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-58442721876121967652008-05-04T14:31:00.000-04:002008-05-04T14:31:00.000-04:00I am such an easy target!

AFT still corners the market on thermal modeling, and the temperatures AFT covers are most sought after by industry. He also has a hell of a time working on crappy apatites, samples FT has no problem with at all. For detrital samples FT is much more powerful and reliable. We're like the wonder twins of the upper crust!Thermochronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606230819461771700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-73675788745946396622008-05-03T21:38:00.000-04:002008-05-03T21:38:00.000-04:00"This is an exciting time in low-temperature therm..."This is an exciting time in low-temperature thermochronometry because of the explosion of helium dating and how it has integrated with well-established fission track thermochronology."<BR/><BR/>The FT community clings to life in the face of their niche being taken over by (U-Th)/He.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-87417381693556536122008-05-02T13:13:00.000-04:002008-05-02T13:13:00.000-04:00This conference is completely out of realm of expe...This conference is completely out of realm of expertise, but sounds fun nonetheless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-8102934771781090292008-05-01T23:43:00.000-04:002008-05-01T23:43:00.000-04:00Emily - There is some info on the page about being...Emily - There is some info on the page about being a sponsored student, might be worth looking into if you are interested.Thermochronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606230819461771700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-5684262392963645712008-05-01T22:30:00.000-04:002008-05-01T22:30:00.000-04:00My prof Phil Armstrong is going and my two friends...My prof Phil Armstrong is going and my two friends/fellow majors whose theses are being advised by him are going too!<BR/>Wish i could~Emihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647818801117272669noreply@blogger.com
