Links and Resources
Some resources that may be useful for users of the TRaIL facility:
Example data reporting table for thermal history simulations – Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that provides an example of a thermal model input table for publication, after Flowers et al. (2015).
TRaIL Undergrad Researcher Guide_June2020 – this is a document prepared by Becky that outlines the steps and expectations of undergraduate students interested in doing research in the TRaIL facility. It also includes some resources students will find helpful when learning (U-Th)/He thermochronology.
