The UTChron Laboratory houses integrated facilities for (U-Th)/He and 4He/3He thermochronometry and  LA-ICP-MS U-Pb geochronology REE analysis. The facility was established at the University of Texas in 2011.

The Stockli Research Group focuses on U-Pb and (U-Th)/He and 4He/3He thermochronology, accessory mineral U-Pb geochronology, combined U-Pb and trace element/REE split-stream LA-ICP-MS analysis, detrital zircon U-Pb-He double dating, applied to a diverse spectrum of tectonic studies (incl. continental extension, rifting, continental collisional tectonics), source to sink studies, and impact geochronology. We are also actively engaged in method development and calibration studies.

COVID-19 UPDATE: The UTChron laboratory was permitted to remain operational without students from March-June and with graduate student involvement since June. No visitors yet, but I am sure we can accommodate you. Stay safe and mask up!
