Geochronology and Radiometric Dating Techniques

Dr. Rajeev Rajput

Geochronology is the scientific study of determining the age of rocks, minerals, fossils, and other geological materials using various techniques. The age of these materials is important for understanding the Earth's history, including its evolution, geological events, and the timing of biological and environmental changes. Geochronology methods are based on the principles of radioactive decay, and stratigraphy, and can provide absolute or relative age dating. Advances in geochronology have led to a better understanding of the Earth's history and the processes that shape our planet. This abstract provides a brief overview of geochronology and its importance in understanding the evolution of the Earth.
