Cosmogenic nuclides in stony meteorites revisited [PDF]
Abstract— We present new model calculations for depth and size dependent cosmogenic production rates in ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites by galactic cosmic rays. This model, essentially that of Leya et al. (2000a), folds together particle spectra and cross sections for the relevant nuclear reactions, but has been significantly improved due to major

ABSTRACT The Hurd Rock Glacier, located on Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands archipelago, Maritime Antarctica), is a tongue‐shaped feature composed of angular boulders, displaying transverse ridges and furrows, and featuring lobate structures, which are more prominently developed in its frontal sector.

Paleoseismology (study of earthquakes that occurred before records were kept and before instruments can record them) provides useful information such as recurrence periods and slip rate to assess seismic hazard and better understand fault mechanisms ...

Evidence of slow millennial cliff retreat rates using cosmogenic nuclides in coastal colluvium [PDF]
The erosion of rocky coasts contributes to global cycles of elements over geological times and also constitutes a major hazard that may potentially increase in the future. Yet, it remains a challenge to quantify rocky coast retreat rates over millennia –

Abstract Uplifted Pleistocene marine terraces in the Illapel area along the forearc of central Chile record spatially and temporally variable uplift rates on glacial‐cycle timescales. However, the underlying mechanisms for this uplift variability and its potential relationship with the megathrust‐earthquake cycle remain poorly understood.

Paired 14C–10Be exposure ages from Mount Murphy, West Antarctica: Implications for accurate and precise deglacial chronologies [PDF]
Cosmogenic-nuclide surface exposure ages provide empirical data for validating models simulating the timing and pace of ice-sheet response to a warming climate. Increasing emphasis is being placed on obtaining exposure ages that both accurately constrain

Morphological Dating of Fluvial Terrace Risers Across Spatial and Temporal Scales
Abstract Fluvial terraces are valuable terrestrial records of past climatic and tectonic changes. Morphological dating, which quantifies the degradation of the riser between two terraces, offers a relatively simple and cost‐effective alternative to other dating methods.

The distribution and magnitude of subglacial erosion on millennial timescales at Engabreen, Norway
We quantify the magnitude of millennial-scale glacial erosion at Engabreen, a temperate glacier in coastal northern Norway, using the in situ cosmogenic nuclides carbon-14 (14C) and beryllium-10 (10Be) in bedrock exposed recently by glacial retreat ...

Abstract Low‐temperature thermochronology records rock cooling, which results from (generally erosion‐driven) exhumation and/or other processes that alter the geotherm. Apatite (U‐Th)/He (AHe) thermochronology can record landscape changes associated with km‐scale erosion and has previously been used to assess Quaternary glacial incision in large ...

Glacier variations in the European Alps at the end of the last glaciation
The Last Glacial Maximum in the Alps lasted from approximately 30 to 19 ka. Glaciers reached out onto the forelands on both sides of the main Alpine chains, forming piedmont lobes in the north and filling the Italian amphitheatres to the south.
