Novel applications and technique advances of cosmogenic nuclides
Novel applications and technique advances of cosmogenic nuclides
Session ID#: 119845
Session Description:
Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides have been an important quantitative tool in Geomorphology since their introduction as a geochronological technique. The majority of cosmogenic nuclides are produced in the upper two meters of the Earth's surface. Therefore, they can be used to quantify exposure age of features at the surface such as river terraces, glacial moraines, burial ages, as well rates of surface processes such as erosion, weathering, and soil production. The range of applications for cosmogenic nuclides is constantly expanding through the continuous development of techniques and creative approaches.
This session serves as a platform for both novel applications and technical developments of cosmogenic nuclides. We invite projects in every phase, from theoretical ideas to established methods applied in new ways or to expanding areas of research. We encourage contributions with multiple nuclides, links to other geochronological techniques, developments in muon based and creative applications of cosmogenic nuclide in surface processes.
