The four chapters in this dissertation consist of projects that utilized 40Ar/39Ar thermochronometry. Chapters 1 and 2 are from a study of the Sisters shear zone on Stewart Island, New Zealand. In these studies, thermal histories obtained using 40Ar/39Ar thermochronometry were combined with field an...
