铀系数据为广泛的地质过程提供了必不可少的测年和示踪工具。U系列地质年代学研究报告的数据往往包含的信息不足，无法全面评估所收集的数据。通常不可能使用所提供的信息计算日期或使用不同的参数重新计算，最终限制了数据的价值。所使用的衰变常数特别重要，因为一些相关的U系列同位素已经被修订。在这里，我们提供了一个基本原理的最低限度的所需数据集，将使大多数计算和方便以后的数据比较。沿着这些数据报告规范，我们讨论了额外的元数据，这将提高对数据的理解，并提高在其他研究的背景下重新解释和评估数据的能力。我们认为，这些建议将提供一个基础，增加寿命和有用的测量在学科的U系列地质年代学。(C)2017作者由爱思唯尔公司出版
Uranium-series data provide essential dating and tracer tools for a broad spectrum of geologic processes. Data reported in U-series geochronology studies often contain insufficient information to completely assess the data collected. It is frequently not possible to calculate a date using the information provided or to re-calculate using different parameters, ultimately limiting the value of the data. The decay constants used are particularly important in that some of the relevant U-series isotopes have been revised. Here we provide a rationale for a minimum set of required data that will enable most calculations and facilitate later data comparisons. Along with these data reporting norms, we discuss additional metadata that will improve understanding of the data and also enhance the ability to re-interpret and assess them in the context of other studies. We posit that these recommendations will provide a foundation for increasing the longevity and usefulness of measurements in the discipline of U-series geochronology. (C) 2017 The Authors.
