How often do mountains collapse, volcanoes erupt or ice sheets melt? For Earth scientists, these are important questions as we try to improve projections to prepare communities for hazardous events in the future. We rely on instrumental measurements, but such records are often short.

How often do mountains collapse, volcanoes erupt or ice sheets melt? For Earth scientists, these are important questions as we try to improve projections to prepare communities for hazardous events in the future. We rely on instrumental measurements, but such records are often short. To extend these, we use geological archives. And at the heart of this research is geochronology – a toolkit of geological dating methods that allow us to assign absolute ages to rocks.

1 INTRODUCTION By 2100, large sectors of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) may be affected by the abrupt onset of Marine Ice Sheet Instability (DeConto & Pollard, 2016; Fox-Kemper et al., 2021; Meredith et al., 2019). This process in which grounding lines retreat into deeper inland basins, and leading to dynamic thinning, has the potential to contribute up to an additional metre of sea level rise within the next century (Fox-Kemper et al., 2021; Schoof, 2007).
