The goal of Antarctichron/Chronothon 2019 workshop is t o introduce undergraduate and graduate students to geo- and thermochronolog y through some applications to the geology of Antarctica (though projects f ocused on other regions will be considered too). Students will analyze and interpet their own samples and data, in the context of their own research p rojects. Through both hands-on analyses and interpretations, as well as inf ormal lectures and discussions, students will learn fundamentals of radiois otopic dating, laboratory techniques, analytical instrumentation, basics of thermochronologic modeling, the geology of Antarctica, and each others' re search projects. Each student's project during the workshop will focus on a small set of samples to be dated by (U-Th)/He, U/Pb, Ar/Ar, and in some ca ses, fission-track methods. Ideally, a student's accomplishments at this wo rkshop should complement a larger research project supervised by the studen t's faculty advisor at his or her home institution.
