Project Title:  Novel isotope techniques to explore Centralian Superbasin: Coupled K-Ca and Rb-Sr dating and Ca isotope stratigraphy Project Description and Research Aims:  Recent advances in analytical instrumentation for geoscience applications, such as the advent of collision cell mass spectrometry coupled with laser ablation systems, have provided new research opportunities but also raised new challenges in basin exploration and earth system evolution studies. For example, in-situ Rb-Sr dating of sediments and sedimentary rocks (by targeting authigenic phases such as
