Geochron

Geochron is a global database that hosts geochronologic and thermochronologic information from detrital minerals. Information included with each sample consists of a table with the essential isotopic information and ages, a table with basic geologic metadata (e.g., location, collector, publication, etc.), a Pb/U Concordia diagram, and a relative age probability diagram. This information can be accessed and viewed with any web browser, and depending on the level of access desired, can be designated as either private or public. Loading information into Geochron requires the use of U-Pb_Redux, a Java-based program that also provides enhanced capabilities for data reduction, plotting, and analysis. Instructions are provided for three different levels of interaction with Geochron: 1. Accessing samples that are already in the Geochron database. 2. Preparation of information for new samples, and then transfer to Arizona LaserChron Center personnel for uploading to Geochron. 3. Preparation of information and uploading to Geochron using U-Pb_Redux.

Geochron乃全球性的数据库，汇集了源自碎屑矿物的年代学和热年代学信息。每个样本所包含的信息包括一份包含基本同位素信息和年龄的表格、一份包含基础地质元数据（例如位置、采集者、出版物等）的表格、一张Pb/U协和图以及一张相对年龄概率图。此类信息可通过任何网络浏览器进行访问和浏览，根据所需的访问级别，可将其设定为私有或公开。将信息加载至Geochron数据库需使用U-Pb_Redux，这是一款基于Java的程序，亦提供数据简化、绘图和分析的增强功能。针对Geochron的使用，提供了三个不同层次的交互说明：1. 访问Geochron数据库中已有的样本。2. 准备新样本的信息，随后转移至亚利桑那激光年代中心人员处，由其上传至Geochron。3. 使用U-Pb_Redux准备信息并上传至Geochron。
