Abstract
Geochronology studies in South Australia were developed in three Adelaide institutions. (i) University of Adelaide: (ia) Department of Geology and Mineralogy, where four single chemical measurements were reported in 1923-1955 and 14 lead-alpha measurements in 1961; MSID Rb-Sr work began in 1972 followed by zircon U-Pb about 1980 and Sm-Nd later; (ib) luminescence equipment was developed in the Department of Physics and is used to date recent sediments. (ii) Flinders University, where alpha spectrometry disequilibrium dating of recent sediments was active during 1972-2000; and (iii) AMDEL, which supplied a variable commercial service of K-Ar, Rb-Sr and zircon dating during period 1972-1999.
