Editor's Notes

Taking over as Editor of On Track fromRaymond Jonckheere is rather like being giventhe keys to a brand new Mercedes when youdo not know how to drive, at least that's theway I feel. I am sure everyone would agreethat Raymond has been a meticulous editorand taken On Track to an even higherstandard. Raymond has been particularlysuccessful in cadgeoling people from allsectors of the track community into writingarticles. As I now realise this is not so easy.Although, with every best intention, people saythey will contribute an article, when thedeadline comes around nothing materialises.This is nobodies fault. The exponential growthin administration combined with researchproposal and conference abstract deadlines,

papers to review and teaching leave us littletime for research, apart from anything else.

Regarding conferences, this year seemsparticularly busy. In April there is the EGSmeeting in NIce, then in June, we have a four-day meeting of European fission trackers inCadiz. In August, at Davos in Switzerlandthere is the annual Goldschmidt meeting,which this year incorporates ICOG. All of thesewill have sessions or symposia directlyrelevant to our research but how many of uscan afford the time and money to go to everyone?

In this issue of On Track you will find a reportof last Novembers short EFTAN (European FTnetwork) meeting held in the Black Forest,Germany. Chaired by Günther Wagner, thisforum provided the opportunity for Europeanresearchers to explore collaborative links andexpress some of their methodologicalconcerns. A general point that came out of thismeeting was a need for better communicationamongst the FT community, through an e-mail-based network (more details about this areprovided in short tracks). It was also felt thatwe should establish a library of laboratoryprofiles containing very basic information suchas where people are working. As a follow onfrom this last point, it was felt that a Europeansample and results database would encouragecollaboration and aid joint research proposals.More details on each of these initiatives can befound on pages 4 of this issue.

The compilation of laboratory profiles andsample/ results database are initially intendedfor European consumption, but there is noreason why other researchers cannot join in. Iwelcome any feedback on this issue andperhaps in due course views could beexchanged via the e-mail discussion group.

Continuing down a eurocentric road, over thelast few years we have seen a proliferation ofnew fission track laboratories a positive sign ofthe methods ubiquitous value to EarthSciences. A consequence of this are frequentrequests for dosimeter glass and age standardreference material with a degree of uncertaintyas to what is available and who to ask. Giventhis situation, on page 10, I have pooledtogether as much relevant information as Icould find. There may be omissions so pleaselet me know.

There is only one scientific(sic) article in thisissue kindly written by Kit Johnson in his ownunique style (translation supplied). Kitsarticle/story reinforces the need to carefullyplan our sampling strategies. Under certainconditions a poorly considered samplingprogram can undermine interpretation in asimilar way to ignoring variable graincomposition.

Finally, I would like to remind you that theregistration and payment deadline for theCadiz FT meeting is fast approaching (15th

February) so please find time to register. Seepage 7 for more details.

NEW (U-Th)/He LAB

THE NEW HELIUM LINE at UCL built by PattersonInstruments is now completed. The new facilityconsists of a single vacuum resistance furnacefor extracting helium from apatite crystals, fullyautomated gas handling and preparation, anda dedicated on-line quadrupole massspectrometer for determination of 4He/3Heratios.

Over 100 Gas standards have beenanalysed during the commissioning of the newsystem. On a day-by-day basis 4He/3He ratiosof spiked gas standards typically reproduce at0.05 to 0.1 % (1 sigma), and 4He hot blanksfrom the furnace are running at <0.03 ncc 4He.

At the time of writing three samples ofDurango Apatite have been successfullyoutgassed and analysed for their 4He contents.It is planned that the determination of U and Thin these initial samples will be completed inseveral weeks allowing the first (U-Th)/4Heages from the UCL to be calculated.

Des Pattersons next project is in Tübingenwhere he will build a helium line for IstvánDunkl's group.

O BIT UAR YOn the morning of the thirteenth September, 2001, we,the members of Japanese Fission Track Research Group(JFTRG), received an e-mail which informed us of thesudden death of Prof. Takaaki Matsuda, Kumamoto Uni-versity. He had suffered a heart attack while playing ten-nis the previous evening. Despite doctors efforts to savehim he never regained consciousness.

Born on the 8th July 1949, and only 52 years old when hedied Prof. Takaaki Matsuda received his degree in Ge-ology from Kyoto University in 1983, and began a careeras an assistant professor at the Himeji Institute of Tech-nology. He was soon promoted to an associate professorand then professor. In April 2001 Prof. Takaaki Matsudamoved to Kumamoto University where he was expectedto lead the University as a professor through the difficultand revolutionary changes now taking place across theJapanese education and research system.

Prof. Takaaki Matsuda's research involved comprehen-sive geochronological studies of Japanese Tertiary ig-neous rocks and he contributed to understanding thegeological evolution of the Japanese Islands. He playeda major role on a project to reconstruct the opening of theJapan Sea joining a research group whose memberswere more famous for their wild but hearty behaviour anddrinking, rather than their brilliant research. A toughmountaineer he was always keen to collect samples fromdifficult terrain, walking very fast along steep and roughtrails as if they were flat pavement. His research inter-ests were not restricted to Japan and included; the riftvalley in Kenya, Sikhote Alin in the Russian Far East andChina, and as a member of JARE-42 (Japanese AntarcticResearch Expedition-42) he had just started research onAntarctica. For the FT community in Japan Prof. TakaakiMatsuda had volunteered to be president of JFTRG for 2terms, making great efforts to promote geochronology inJapan. He always enjoyed contributing to the interna-tional FT conferences as far as his schedule permitted,and was especially disappointed that he could not join thelast conference in Lorne because the Japanese academiccalendar forbade professors to leave the university, evenfor a short term.

The JFTRG sincerely acknowledge Prof. Takaaki Matsu-da's achievements, and wish him an everlasting andpeaceful sleep. To mourn his death, the Department ofEarth Sciences, Kumamoto University, constructed a website although they are sorry that it is written in Japanese.It would be nice if you find time to visit this site and write amessage when you have something in mind http://www.sci.kumamoto-u.ac.jp/cgibin/TMbbs.cgi).A Photo Gallery is also availablehttp://www.sci.kumamoto-u.ac.jp/earthsci/tmatsuda/MatsudaPhoto.html.

AN ELECTRONIC DATABASE FOR EUROPEANFT DATA.

Jocelyn Barbarand

Since the 1970's when Wagner and co-workersmade the first FT analyses on samples from theAlps, there has been a huge increase in the numberof fission track studies across Europe with much ofthe data remaining unpublished or buried in studenttheses. At the European FT network (EFTAN)meeting in Lautenbach last November, it was de-cided to establish a database of results from thesedifferent European studies to facilitate further stud-ies and as an impetus for co-operative research.The data may also be used to compile large-scalesummary maps that show sample locations andages as well as denudation and thermal histories.The database will provide an important resource tosupport collaborative research proposals betweenscientists and as well as an aid to future researchprojects. It will eventually be web-based and acces-sible to all participants. First, though we need thedata.

Participation is open to any scientist that has FTdata from Europe. As a first step, we need to com-pile the data from published and unpublished sour-ces and so we need people to submit their data. Forthis we require the following basic information:

Lab NameContactArea of study (geographical area, geological unit,country)Mineral usedNumber of samplesMethod used, i.e. EDM or POPLength Data Y/NIf data are published - References

The aim is to compile this preliminary information asa summary map that shows which parts of Europehave FT data. The map will be presented at theCadiz FT meeting in June 2002, where we will dis-cuss in more detail how we want to proceed with thedatabase in terms of content and format.

For this first stage, only data received by the 1st

April 2002 will be incorporated into the first maps.So please spend a few moments to compile your listand send it to me, Jocelyn Barbarand, (bar-baran@geol.u-psud.fr). If you want more informa-tion or have any questions please do not hesitate tocontact me.

EFT AN NET WOR K

A bri ef rep ort o n the N ovemb er m eeti ng at Lautenbach in the Black Forest, Germany.

A shor t mee ti ng of the E F TA N netw or k w as he ld atLautenbach in the Black Forest, Germany between22. 11. 2001 – 23. 11. 2001 chaired by GüntherWagner. The meeting was well attended and mostEuropean labs (and Mexico) were represented bythe twenty seven participants. The aim of this briefmeeting was to facilitate communication betweenthe different European groups, agree on the venuefor the next International Fission Track Conferencein 2004, to explore funding opportunities for col-laborative research, and discuss more technical as-pects of FT methodology.

The meeting began formally at 8.00 pm on Thurs-day evening with Günther welcoming everybodyand outlining the history of the network and theprogram for the next day. Each of the participantsthen introduced themselves in their own languagebefore briefly outlining their FT research interests.Towards the end of the evening, as the beer andschnapps did their work our discussions discoveredmore tangents than Pythagoras: István told a storyabout washing machine motors, toothpaste andwomen's socks (I think it was all to do with polishingapatite grain mounts), whilst the three wise old menreminisced about the early days of FT dating (Gün-ther was the first person to start FT studies in Eu-rope, in April 1964). Time for bed...

The next day began with Maurice Pagel outliningsome of the possibilities for EU-funded projects thatcombine FT data from across NW Europe. He alsointroduced us to a CNRS-funded project that startedin 2001. This project has funding for 2002, includ-ing some provision for co-workers outside ofFrance. More information about these projects willbe presented later on this year including at the nextEuropean FT-meeting in Cadiz. As a first step par-ticipants decided it would be useful to establish aEuropean FT database of samples analysed by EF-TAN members. It was also noted that other non-European labs may have data from Europe andthey would be be encouraged to participate. JocelynBarbarand and Maurice Pagel were willing to set-upthe database and more details about this can befound on page 4.

A variety of technical issues were briefly discussedincluding a need for track length standards (TonyHurford), methodological problems associated withuse of appropriate age standards, track lengthmeasurement, etching and absolute calibration(Raymond Jonckheere), the meaning of dispersionin the Chi-test (Balazs Székely), and shortage ofsuitable reactors (István Dunkl).

FISSION-TRACK ANALYSIS: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS

El Puerto de Santa María

Cádiz, Spain

June 4-7, 2002

Organization of the Cadiz meeting is now well underway. As most of you know, abstract sub-mission was extended until February 1st, but the registration deadline remains February 15th. Please,do not forget to send me a copy of the bank draft when you make your payment. You can either fax itto: int-34-956-06040, send it by post or via email to; ftcadiz2002@uca.es

Two invited speakers have agreed to give keynote talks: Tony Hurford from UCL has agreed totalk about sources of variation in age and track length measurement, and Ulrich Glasmacher from MPIwill talk about the Alpha Recoil Track Technique.

Diane Seward will give a “talk on the bus” during the field trip to the Ronda Massif in which shewill present some fission track data on this massif.

A short meeting of the EFTAN (European Fission Track Network) will also be held in Cadiz,and Jocelyn Barbarand will update us on the progress of a European fission track sample/project da-tabase.

Once all of the abstracts have been received, I will prepare a second circular detailing theconference program including sessions and roundtable discussions.

It is intended that there will be a special issue of Tectonophysics from papers presented at themeeting but this is contingent upon there being an adequate number of suitable papers. At the mo-ment six people have told me of their intention to submit a paper. If you want to make a contribution tothis special issue then please contact me (Luis Barbero email: ftcadiz2002.uca.es) with a preliminarytitle and list of authors which I can forward on to the Editor-in-Chief.

Please remember that you are responsible for organizing your own accommodation. A limited num-ber of rooms have been pre-booked in the Hotel Monasterio (meeting venue), and in the Hotel LosCántaros and Hotel Santa María, both in the city center. When making your reservation indicate thatyou are attending the Fission Track meeting. I strongly recommend that you visit http://interhotel.comwhere you can book your rooms online. Please, note that El Puerto de Santa María is a busy touristarea and if you do not book your rooms in advance it can be very difficult to find somewhere.

Reactor Watch

In On Track issue 21, Ed Sobel presented atabulation of reactor facts which has proven to be ofimmense use to trackers. The continuing economicand political pressures on research reactor facilitiesconcern us all and no doubt you have had the oddsleepless night wondering which site may closenext. In Europe the demise of RISØ has left manyexposed to the problems and beaurocracyassociated with international transport of radioactivematerials. As far as I can gather, most trackersseem to be using either HIFAR at Lucas Heights or,TRIGA at Oregon. Although there is no evidencethat either facility is going to close (although lastyears election in Australia could have seen Hifarclosed if an alternative government were voted in) itwould seem prudent to have a list of suitablebackup reactors. Therefore in each future issue ofOn Track we will inlcude updated versions of EdSobels reactor fact sheet and include any newsrelating to facility staff, upgrades, downtimes etc.

If you hear of any new developments concerningreactors or are aware of reactors that may besuitable please contact the Editor of On Track toensure the latest developments can be reportedback to the Fission Track community.

It is worth reminding ourselves (based on Ed Sobelscomments) what constitutes a suitable reactorfacility for Fission Track analysis:

H OT NE W S

Prior to the Australian election there was some con-cern that a change of government may herald clo-sure of the ageing reactor facility at Lucas Heights.Re-election of the Howard government seems tohave removed this concern and plans for building anew facility to replace the Hifar reactor are now un-derway. Phillip Morgan has moved to a reactor op-erators position at Lucas Heights and so will nolonger be responsible for handling FT samples.

Ed Sobel and Kirsten Graefe are currentlyinvestigating a research reactor in Berlin. They haveconducted a series of experiments to determine thelevel of axial and lateral gradients. Preliminaryresults were not encouraging due to significantgradients. However, the gradients may be due tofailure of the sample holder rotation mechanism.Further experiments are underway to resolve this.

István Dunkl is exploring the suitability of a reactorin Hungary. Although well thermalised it appearsthat the main problem is that it is overpowered forour needs such that sample exposure time tooshort. Istvan is having negotiations too see if it willbe possibel to run the reactor for specific days at alower fluence.

StandardsStandards are always out of date. That is what makes

them standards (from Forty Years On by Alan Bennet)

No I am not referring to moral principles but ratherthe availability of uranium glass and age standardmaterial. With new labs continuing to appear Ithought it a subject worth reviewing. What is thecurrent the position on age standards anddosimeter glasses and where can I get them?

GLASSESHistorically laboratories adopted the NIST (NBS)uranium glasses as dosimeters with most usersfavouring the SRM 610-617 range. Of these SRM612 was widely used as it contained 37 ppm U. Inthe late 1970's Jan Schreurs at Corningmanufactured alternative uranium glasses startingwith U1-U7 followed by CN1, CN2 and CN5. Thereason for an alterntive to SRM glasses stemmedfrom the realisation that 60 odd trace elements inthe SRM glasses could cause problems. Forexample the boron and rare earth content wassufficient to attenuate the neutron flux by up to 1%.The thorium content and depleted 235U couldcause problems if using a poorly thermalisedfacility. In addition it was unclear if the uraniumdistribution was suitably homogenous. These andother aspects are reviewed by Hurford (1998) andDe Corte et al., (1998). Importantly comparisonbetween CN and SRM glasses revealed the CNglasses to be consistently better monitors. Thusfrom the mid 1980's onwards most labs convertedto the CN glasses. Initially these were distributedby Jan Schreurs at Corning, but later he retiredand kindly arranged for the remaining supply to bepassed on to the FT community via London whodistributed to labs in the northern hemisphere andMelbourne who looked after the southernhemisphere. Since most labs use apatite and arelocated in the northern hemisphere the Londonsupply of CN5 glass has now run out. Melbournehas some CN5 left and for the time being willdistribute it to anyone who requests it.

Bearing in mind that the CN glass supply is rapidlydiminishing and will not be replaced it is worthconsidering the new glasses being distributed bythe International Institute for Reference Materials(IRMM). These glasses are described in De Corteet al., (1998) and are designed as NuclearReference Material. The first batch of 15 ppm UIRMM-540 glass is already sold out but two newsets have been prepared at 15 and 55 ppm U, anddata on these new glasses are reported inRadiation Measurements (2001, vol. 34, p.419-422). These glasses will eventually replace the CNseries.

To summarise;CN1 (39.8 ppm U) and CN2 (36.5 ppm U) glassused for zircon can be obtained from eitherLondon or MelbourneCN5 glass (12.2 ppm U) used for apatite can beobtained only from Melbourne.IRMM-540 glass (15 and 55 ppm) from Belgium.

AGE STANDARDSIn 1989 Tony Hurford listed on behalf of the IUGSSubcommission on Geochronology the agestandards considered most suitable to use insystem calibration. These were;

Apatite: Fish Canyon TuffDurango

Zircon: Fish Canyon TuffBuluk Member tuffTardree Rhyolite

Sphene: Mount Dromedary Banatite

Other standards were noted to exist but were notincluded in the IUGS list because they were eithertechnically difficult to prepare and/or use, or, hadnot been rigorously dated by other methods.

It was noted in 1988 that more age standards areneeded, and in the last On Track we wereintroduced by Meinert Rahn to the latestcandidate. Meinert has circulated some of thisapatite and hopefully he will report back the resultsin a future On Track.

FISH CANYON Currently most of the larger fissiontrack groups have their own supply of Fish CanyonTuff (reference age 27.8±0.2 Ma) and most willpobably have some spare to share. I remembercollecting some myself together with Manfred Brixfrom the Bochum group. It was after the fissiontrack conference in Philadelphia in 1992, and wearranged to meet Chuck Naeser back in hisDenver lab to be given the precise location details.He must have had a busy post conference weekbecause when we got to the location other labs

had clearly been there - we found a niced freshlyhammered outcrop that was startling to resemble asmall cave because so much had recently beenremoved. Over the years Chuck must have spenta lot of time on Fish Canyon, initially preparing andcirculating mineral separates, later recievingvisitors and providing location details. On behalf ofeveryone, thanks Chuck.

Recently there have been several papers revisingthe age of the Fish Canyon Tuff based on new U-Pb ages. The most notable by Schmitz andBowring (2001) provide good evidence forincreasing the age to 28.48±0.03 Ma from theargon based ages which range from 27.5 to 28.05Ma. Evidence was provided to show that thedifference between the U-Pb and argon basedages was not due to significant magma residencetime but instead due to the decay constant andages standards used in argon. All of this soundsbad news. However these small corrections havelittle impact on zeta when our comparatively largeanalytical errors are taken into consideration.

DURANGO. This is perhaps the most widely usedapatite standard with a reference age of 31.4±3Ma (e.g. Green, 1985). It is widely available asmost mineral dealers have it in their stock. Mostspecimens are found as gem quality, centimetrelong, green euhedral crystals. It comes from theCerro de Mercado (iron mountain) mining area inDurango, Mexico. Fission track labs eitherpurchase their samples from mineral dealers or insome cases (no names) rob their departmentmineral collection. A word of caution if usingmineral dealers. In On Track 2 issue 5, 1992Richard Weiland reported that a dealer in thestates had mistakenly labelled another apatite(probably from Bancroft Ontario) as durango. Thisapatite although similar in many respect toDurango was slightly deeper green in colour. Onlyafter chemical analysis did this become apparent. Ihave not heard of this happening anywhere elsebut it could happen again so beware.

BULUK MEMBER TUFF This zircon age standard,reference age 16.2±0.6 Ma was described byHurford and Watkins (1985). The only supply isheld in London and is freely available on request.The zircons are reasonably large, zoning free andhave a fairly long > 24-36 hr etch time.

TARDREE RHYOLITE This zircon collected fromthe Tertiary igneous province of northern Ireland.The reference age is 58.7±1.1 Ma based on K-Arand 40Ar/39Ar dating. The zircons are highly zonedbut in general large countable areas are found inmost grains. Although far from perfect this sampleis similar in quality to many real samples. Currentlyno mineral separate is available. London hassome rock but as yet it has not been processed.

BISHOP TUFF zircon has been used as aninterlab standard The reference age of 0.73±0.024Ma (Hurford and Hammerschmidt 1985) indicates

a long etch time. Currently, I am not aware ofanyone using this sample routinely, nor of anysupply for widespread distribution. Any offers?MOUNT DROMEDARY BANATITE has been usedas an interlab standard in Melbourne for manyyears and mineral separates have also beenwidely distributed to other labs. The sphene is agreat standard and the apatite is also good. Thezircon which contains on average 300-250 ppm Uis also Ok but less widely used.

FT STAge Systems

Automated microscope stage systemsgreatly increase operator productivity byautomating tedious aspects of microscopework. Since their introduction, our systemshave been adopted by far more fission tracklaboratories than any other system.

Outstanding Hardware:Our stage systems are based on a highly-reliable, high-precision Kinetek™ computer-automated microscope scanning stage. Severalhundred Kinetek stages are currently in operation, mainly in the demanding microelectronics and biotechnology industries. Compatiblewith almost any brand of microscope. Use of this popular, general purpose stage significantly reduces the system cost. System also in-cludes a high-quality Calcomp™ 12x12" digitizing tablet. Assembly to full operational status generally requires only a few days.

Outstanding Software:Software is a complete, highly sophisticated Apple Macintosh program developed with careful attention to all aspects of microscopework. Fully integrates track counting, track length measurement, slide scanning, and file management functions. Moves preciselyfrom grain to mica print in 3 seconds. Very user friendly.

Innovative, Highly-Intuitive Stage Control System:Stage is driven primarily with the digitizing tablet cursor rather than a joystick. For example, to center a grain or track, just superim-pose the cursor on it, push a button, and the stage automatically centers it. This avoids tedious manual centering via the joystick.Most software commands are driven from the cursor buttons, which are easily distinguished by feel, so there is no need to look awayfrom the eyepieces to the computer screen or keyboard.

Profiling sans jam-jar1

Fiction(?) by Kit Johnson

Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2BT, UK

The phone rang and I picked it up.“Hello John,” a voice said “I’ve got you a new

motor2”. It was my car dealer.“Err, that’s nice” I replied “but I....”“No listen” he said. “I know it’s early for your fieldseason and all that, but this little jam-jar is a beauty.Up and down those mountain roads like a yo-yo.And the hand brake works this time. Promise. You’lllove it.” “Yes, but.....Harry3, I’m not planning on using a carfor field work this summer. Or any other year forthat matter. So I think I’ll give it a miss. Thanks forphoning anyway”I was about to replace the receiver, but Harry wasn’ta man to be put off easily.“Oi! John! No! Hold on a minute.” he bellowed. “Justthink about it for a moment. How the hell are yougoing to get to those rock samples of yours, sittingout there in the field waiting for you to drive up andbelt them with an hammer, eh? You tell me that.”He had a point, I couldn’t deny that.“I’m going to walk to them.” I said rather weakly.

______________________________________1 Car (cockney rhyming slang)2 Car3 ‘Harry’ as in Palmer (or ‘Michael’ as in Caine etc. etc.)

“Walk!” There was a choking sound, and I wonderedfor a moment if he was suffering a coronary.“Don’t you ever use that word in my company again

young man4. I’m a car dealer not a shoe salesman”.“Sorry Harry. Slow jogging perhaps.” I volunteered.“Alright, alright. Tell me this then. Who’s going tocarry your samples out of the field then eh? Tell methat.”He had a very good point, I reflected.There was certainly no denying that one.“Err........I’d get somebody else to carry them out.” Ioffered.Silence.“Nice thinking son.” he said.He liked that, I could tell.“Alright” he said. “I’m trying to get me head roundthis one. You are going to do fieldwork. Not using acar, but using your feet instead. Just tell me why.”“Well Harry, its like this.” I began.“We’ve known for a long time that apatite fissiontrack ages often vary systematically with sampleelevation. When samples are collected in mountain-ous relief they yield older ages at higher elevationsand younger ages at correspondingly lower eleva-tions. The same is true for samples from boreholes,and for the same reasons. In general it seems rea-sonable to suppose that at a given locality, samplesfrom deeper in the crust are never cooler thanshallower samples, whether they are located in aborehole, or are now exposed up a valley side.Cooler samples will begin to retain fission tracksover geological timescales before hotter, deeperones, thus giving rise to the positive correlationbetween age and elevation”.“Is that so.” sniffed Harry.“Yes” I ploughed on. “And quite a few people havemade use of this relationship to say somethingabout the timing of onset of accelerated denudationand the rate at which it proceeds. They call samplescollected in this format ‘vertical profiles’.”“That would be that Fitzy5 bloke, wouldn’t it? Harryinterjected, demonstrating a surprising knowledge ofthe literature.“And a few more too who I can’t be bothered tomention.” I admitted.“So what’s this got to do with walking then?” Harrydemanded.

“Hang-on old son6,” I replied. “I’m getting to that.The thing is, if we’ve chosen our samples carefully,in a vertical profile format, we can treat them ascoming from a coherent crustal section. Becausewe orientate our samples in space, so-to-speak,using structural or sedimentological criteria we canpotentially make use of this spatial information whenextracting the thermal history information containedwithin the fission track data. Basically we argue that

it’s reasonable to assume that all of the samplesexperienced the same thermal history. But, and thisis the important bit, each will have been at a tem-perature which is offset from its neighbours by arelatively fixed but unknown amount. This amountwill be determined by the heat-flow and the distribu-tion of rock thermal conductivities in the crustal col-umn from which the samples were taken. Previouslywe would have modelled the samples independentlyand then, if appropriate, tried to fit a paleogeothermto the data. Now, the temperature offset is actuallyone of the parameters that we try to estimate, alongwith the time and temperature pairs that define thecollective thermal history.”“Yeah? And? I’ve not heard nuffin about walkingyet.” Harry said in a sullen voice.“Don’t be like that.” I said. “I’ll get round to thewalking thing in a moment. Have a look at this dia-gram first.”I rolled the diagram up and stuffed it down themouthpiece of the phone. I could hear Harry tearingit as he pulled it out of his receiver.“Bugger,” he said. “Oh no, its alright.”A moment of silence ensued.“What’s it all mean?” he finally said “Well,” I began. “It shows seven sedimentary sam-ples that I collected in a vertical profile. They eachhad their thermal history information extracted inde-pendently of one another. Although there is a verygood fit between the predicted FT parameters andthose that were measured, there is a good deal ofdisagreement between the model predictions for thetiming of cooling. This is indicated by the t-T point inthe coloured area.”I heard “uuuurrrh” from the other end of the phone,but wasn’t sure whether this indicated agreement,or the possibility that Harry had nodded off.“The coloured area itself indicates the uncertaintyassociated with that t:T point, which is fairly large inmany case.” I continued. “And even that is oftentruncated on the figures at adjacent t:T points. Sothe uncertainty in individual timings is really quitelarge, as well as variable. Now have a look at thissecond diagram.”I rolled this one up into a ball and popped it into themouthpiece. Harry fumbled it and I heard it fall tothe floor. When he’d retrieved it he flattened it outand began studying it. A curious smell wafted from

the phones' mouthpiece. Harry was thinking7‘what’s this got to do with walking?’“Just compare this with the last diagram Harry.” Isaid, tying to move things along.“In this one we’ve modelled the data from all sevensamples jointly and come up with a thermal historythat has a common form for all, but satisfies the ob-servations for each of the samples. True, the fitbetween the observed and predicted parameters isnot as good, but that’s a desirable feature of the

procedure we would argue. It helps to minimiseover-interpretation of the data, particularly when weare dealing with sediments that contain variableprovenance related information. It sort of improvesthe signal to noise ratio, if you know what I mean.”

“Now have a look at the resolution that we’ve ob-tained, particularly for the timing of cooling epi-sodes. Those little crosses indicate the 95% confi-dence intervals for each t:T point. Bit of an im-provement eh?”“Mmmm..uurrr”“And of course” I continued, unsure whether Harrywas buying any of this, “we can also estimate paleo-heat flow using the estimated temperature offset,section thickness, and measured thermal conduc-tivity data. No more assuming a thermal gradient forestimating the thickness of eroded section.” I said,

allowing a note triumphalism to enter my voice. 8

There was a pause.

I knew I should have pressed on, but for some rea-son I didn't take my opportunity. Before I could sayanother thing, Harry seemed to have put two andtwo together and concluded they did indeed makefour.“What’s this ‘we’?” He demanded.“Errr”, I hesitated.“That Gaggsy9 put you up to this didn’t he?” he said

accusingly. “That man is a toilet10. He should belocked up”“Steady on Harry” I said. “He speaks very highly ofyou”.“Yeah, well” Harry replied. “He drives a Volvo. Rub-bish foreign stuff. We like Fords in this neck-of-the-

woods11. Sierras, Mondeos, that sort of thing”.I was going to point out that Ford’s were Americanbut thought better of it. He wouldn’t have believedme anyway. “So? Was it Gaggsy?” he continued.“No, no” I replied “Well...... eerrrrrr....... yes....... sortof. He did the err... tricky bits”.“Thought so.”

Harry sounded vindicated. “He doesn’t know con-crete from calcrete12, but he thinks he can tell fis-sion trackers not to buy my motors. And sellingthem shoes no doubt. I’m not having it!”“But it's not like that Harry.”I was beginning to feel exasperated.“It just makes more sense to collect samples fromvalley or mountain sides in a structured fashion soyou can model the data jointly, rather than collectthem from wherever the roads take you and modelthem individually. I know you find it upsetting Harry,even offensive, but we do have to leave the motorbehind, pull on those boots, and get out into thefield.”I realized that I’d started sweating. Maybe, I re-flected, I wasn’t the best advocate for hill climbingafter all.I could hear Harry re-organising his thoughts“This new motor" he said "has a three litre engine.”Harry was trying a different strategy.“Oh?” I replied.“And alloy wheels,”Pause.“And it’s red……..you like red don’t you?” he added.I did like red. “And lots of widgets,”“Mmm”“And an enormous overhead dangle blaster cam-shaft”“Really?”“….that’s chromed.”It was just getting too much for me.“Oh, go on then Harry.

International Fission-Track DirectoryThis revised and extended International Fission-Track Directory is by no means complete or accurate. Although a number ofpeople do not figure in the staff, e-mail or phone directories of the institutes under which they are mentioned, this has notbeen interpreted as a sign of non-existence, and they have for the moment been retained with their old affiliations. It wouldbe much appreciated if you would let the editor know if your address has changed, or if people have joined or definitively leftyour lab, so that the directory can be updated.

Call for Contributions

The next issue of On Track is scheduled for late June2002 and we are looking for contributions. On Track wel-comes contributions of virtually any kind, including scien-tific articles, news, gossip, job openings, descriptions ofnew lab techniques, reviews of useful products, ravingsabout what the other labs are doing wrong, meeting an-nouncements, cartoons and descriptions of what you aredoing in your research.

If you would like to contribute, please send the final docu-ment no later than June 1, 2002. If you intend to submit asubstantial article, please let the editor know as soon aspossible.

On Track includes a list of recent and forthcoming fission-track papers. If you know of a paper that was publishedrecently or is in press and should appear in the list, pleaselet me know so that it can be added to the list. Also, if youhappen to change location due to a change in jobs or fin-ishing off the thesis and graduating, please inform the edi-tor.

On Track is also happy to print advertisements. Pleasecontact the editor for advertising rates. On Track has re-mained free of charge and will continue to do so (at leastfor the near future). However, to save costs we generallymail only one copy per lab so please be sure to photo-copy the lab copy and pass copies around your lab. Ifpossible, we will also send out On Track electronically, soplease make sure the editor has an up-to-date e-mail ad-dress for each person/lab.
