Helium Dating

Helium Dating is a geochronological method that determines groundwater age by measuring accumulated radiogenic helium isotopes derived from the decay of uranium and thorium in aquifer materials, distinguishing it from other dating techniques through its reliance on inert noble gas accumulation over time.
