Today we say goodbye to one of the great minds of our times. Grenville Turner invented 40Ar/39Ar dating in the 1960s and used it to date the moon. I'm honoured to have used his original mass spectrometer (MS1) during my PhD, dating Icelandic Volcanoes. Goodbye Grenville 😥. Photo from 2005.
Grenville didn't stop at Ar/Ar dating. He's been integral in developing all sorts of cool techniques where you indirectly measure small isotope concentrations by converting them to noble gases in a nuclear reactor.
