Paleochronology Building Workshop

 This workshop was held 17-21 August 2010 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Financial support was kindly provided by PAGES and INQUA (via the INTREPID initiative led by Prof. Lowe at Waikato NZ). Participants came from Mexico, Canada, the US, the UK, Poland, Sweden, France, Kenya, South Africa, South Korea, Australia, and perhaps even a few more countries. At this page, the lectures and practicals can be accessed, as well as the age-modelling software used.
