This volume presents a collection of works by V. P. Makarov, focusing on methodological problems in scientific geological knowledge, theoretical geochronology, and notes on lead isotope geochemistry. The author traces the foundations of modern classical geochronology (CGh) to the early 20th century, when equations of radioactive decay were first proposed for determining the age of geological formations.
The book examines how geochronological equations have been developed and refined through experiments and model studies analyzing the geochemical characteristics of radiogenic isotopes. It addresses the critical task of dating uranium mineralization and various geological formations and processes, utilizing uranium-lead and lead-lead geochronological equations, as well as methods based on other radioactive elements and their decay products (Rb-Sr, K-Ar, and others).
Despite decades of development, a key unresolved question remains: the reliability of geochronological age determinations. This work attempts to address that question, primarily through the study of natural distributions of radiogenic isotopes and isobars. The author notes that this is not a monograph but a compilation of his own works, which accounts for some repetition in text and bibliographic sources. This 5th volume offers a specialized perspective for those interested in theoretical geochronology and isotope geochemistry.
