TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution oxygen isotope (δ18O) profiles of Holocene stalagmites from four caves in Northern and Southern Oman and Yemen (Socotra) provide detailed information on fluctuations in precipitation along a latitudinal transect from 12°N to 23°N.

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U---Pb ages were obtained from high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphosed meta-igneous lithologies from Syros.

TL;DR: In this article, multichronometric studies of the low-temperature eclogitic Tso Morari unit (Ladakh, India) place timing constraints on the early evolution of the northwest Himalayan belt.

TL;DR: The decay constants used in geo- and cosmochronology usually are assigned uncertainties of ca. 1% but there are very much larger unaccounted discrepancies between decay constants reported by different "counting groups" as well as differences between results derived from counting experiments and from the comparison of ages obtained on the same samples by utilizing different radioactive clocks.

TL;DR: In this article, a 10m-thick lower-middle Miocene marine sedimentary sequence from southwestern Sardinia has been used to estimate the age of the Liguro-Provencal Basin.
