Hi Allen,
I'm in the first year of the PhD program in geology at the University of
Michigan. I study those isotopes you mentioned. Just before Christmas
break, I travelled to UCLA and collected some isotopic ratios of U, Pb,
and Th. I would like for a YEC to explain to me how these data should be
interpreted, if not as ages. If you know of someone who has done work
with isotopic data and has explained how it is done in a YEC paradigm, I'd
like to be informed on it.
Best Regards,
Charles
