“…During the last decade, several comprehensive review papers have been reported on the (U-Th)/He method in general (e.g., Farley, 2002), with a special focus on zircon (e.g., Reiners, 2005) and its Quaternary tephrochronological aspects (e.g., Farley et al, 2002;Schmitt et al, 2010a;Schmitt, 2011;Danišík et al, 2017;Molnár et al, 2017). Now, I will briefly summarize the theoretical basis of the (U-Th)/He geochronology concentrating only on the zircon for dating young volcanic events.…”
