초록/해제  
요약Earth's history is written in fragments: rocks preserved in some places, erased in others, and overprinted many times. Incomplete geologic records highlight the need to extract the highest-quality information possible and to connect fragmented evidence into a coherent picture of Earth history. This dissertation addresses that need through three studies that refine how low-temperature chronometers, kimberlites, and cratons can be used as record keepers of surface and igneous processes. Chapter 1 details a statistical method to improve the accuracy of apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) thermochronology. Chapter 2 presents a novel application of (U-Th)/He to kimberlite-derived megacrystic zircon to accurately date kimberlite eruption. Chapter 3 examines a stark contrast in the kimberlite record across the cratonic interiors and margins of the Northern Canadian Shield and the potential role of preservation bias in the kimberlite record.Given the central role of (U-Th)/He chronology in this dissertation, Chapter 1 introduces the Geometric Correction Method, a straightforward approach to identifying, quantifying, and correcting uncertainty. Parameters critical for AHe thermochronology such as effective uranium concentrations (eU), alpha-ejection corrections (FT), the equivalent spherical radius, and the FT corrected date depend on the assumption that apatite crystals can be modeled as perfect geometric prisms. This assumption is not true. In this work, I develop a set of uncertainties and corrections which account for the deviation of real crystals from geometric models. The corrections shift FT corrected AHe dates older by 4-9% and increase the uncertainty by 1-3%. For eU, a necessary parameter for interpreting AHe dates, the effect is even greater- values shift 20-40% higher and uncertainty increases by 12-13%. The impacts on eU and FT corrected dates are substantial and should be included when reporting and interpreting AHe datasets. These geometric uncertainties and corrections reduce bias in AHe datasets, can be easily integrated in any lab workflow, and significantly improve the accuracy and uncertainty estimates of reported dates.Accurately dating the eruption age of kimberlites can be challenging, because of their mineralogy and susceptibility to alteration. I apply paired (U-Th)/He and U/Pb geochronology to a suite of megacrystic zircon derived from five kimberlite localities worldwide. Megacrystic zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe) accurately and precisely dates the eruption age of each sample, demonstrating that it is a robust tool. In addition, paired U/Pb-ZHe yields insights into megacryst suite genesis and protracted eruption histories. This contribution provides a method for unambiguously dating kimberlite eruption-a critical need for building a robust understanding of kimberlite temporal distributions and for interpreting (U-Th)/He dates derived from them. In the final chapter, I apply AHe thermochronology to a suite of kimberlites across the Northern Canadian Shield (NCS) and its margins. Today, the NCS preserves no Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks and no kimberlite magmatism between ~400 and 200 Ma. In contrast, the margins preserve both. This work presents the first low temperature thermochronology data for the cratonic margins and the northern Rae craton, which provide tighter constraints on the thermal history across the region. I interpret the thermochronologic data, kimberlite distribution, and pattern of preserved Phanerozoic sedimentary cover as indicating preservation bias in the kimberlite record. The gap in magmatism on the cratonic interior coincides with large scale burial and exhumation between ~380-230 Ma due to the Devonian-Carboniferous Ellesmerian orogeny. I suggest that if kimberlites were emplaced during the Permo-Triassic on the cratonic interior, like they were on the margins, subsequent removal of all Phanerozoic sediments from the cratonic interior also removed the kimberlites. Gaps in the kimberlite record are often interpreted as evidence of episodic emplacement, but my results suggest that preservation bias could play an important role in shaping the distribution we observe today.
