Research summary

Marissa M. Tremblay studies how rocks and planetary surfaces record their thermal and exposure histories over time, using techniques like helium-based thermochronology (dating based on how helium accumulates and diffuses in minerals) and cosmogenic nuclide geochemistry (dating based on isotopes produced by cosmic ray exposure). Her work spans topics such as mountain range uplift and erosion, ice sheet and glacier history, impact craters on the Moon and Earth, and the physical processes controlling helium movement in minerals like apatite. This research is useful for reconstructing landscape evolution, past climate and glaciation, and the timing of large impact events.
