Investigating mechanisms for post-depositional heating in sedimentary basins: A case study in the Michigan Basin, USA
Project PI/Team: Andrea Stevens Goddard (Indiana University)
- Funding: American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund UNI Grant #60299-UNI8
- Zircon (U-Th)/He data collected at BAHTL from cores samples in the Michigan Basin supports research to reconstruct the time-temperature history at multiple stratigraphic levels and geographic locations that can be used to reconstruct a model of the 4D thermal evolution of the Michigan Basin and identify the mechanism responsible for ancient heating event(s).

- Detrital apatite (U‐Th‐Sm)/He ages collected from early Pleistocene marine diamict core 344S-U0110 all predate glaciation by >150 million years, suggesting the northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet had, by 1.9 Ma, not yet incised fjords of sufficient depth to excavate grains with young apatite He ages.
