Accurate surface exposure dating with lichens [PDF]
AbstractLichenometry accurately dates exposure times of glacial moraines and landslides when measuring the longest axis of the largest crustose lichen on many blocks, as demonstrated by numerous examples. In Sweden, the sizes ofRhizocarponsubgenusRhizocarpondescribe five pulses of glacial moraine creation in 120 yr. Six historic California earthquakes,

Chronology of glaciations in the Sierra Nevada, California, from 10Be surface exposure dating
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2011Abstract We use 10Be surface exposure dating to construct a high-resolution chronology of glacial fluctuations in the Sierra Nevada, California. Most previous studies focused on individual glaciated valleys, whereas our study compares chronologies developed throughout the range to identify regional patterns in the timing of glacier response to major ...

Testing new kinetic models and calibration methods for Rock Surface Luminescence Exposure dating using controlled experiments [PDF]
Rock surface luminescence exposure dating (RSLED) is an evolving tool in dating prehistoric rock surfaces. In this study, we explore and compare current and new models and calibration methods using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) depth profiles ...

In Situ Radiometric and Exposure Age Dating of the Martian Surface
Science, 2014We determined radiogenic and cosmogenic noble gases in a mudstone on the floor of Gale Crater. A K-Ar age of 4.21 ± 0.35 billion years represents a mixture of detrital and authigenic components and confirms the expected antiquity of rocks comprising the crater rim. Cosmic-ray–produced 3 He, 21

Testing the effects of aspect and total insolation on luminescence depth profiles for rock surface exposure dating [PDF]
Using luminescence to date the burial and exposure ages of rock surfaces has been a revolutionary new geochronological approach developed and refined over the past decade. Rock surface exposure dating is based on the principle that the depth to which the

SURFACE EXPOSURE DATING: REVIEW AND CRITICAL EVALUATION
Physical Geography, 1991The past decade has seen the development and application of over a dozen new methods for quantitative age-determinations of geomorphic surfaces. Some surface exposure dating methods are numerical, including the accumulation of cosmogenic radionuclides 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 36Cl, and 41Ca, accumulation of cosmogenic stable nuclides 3He and 21Ne, 14C dating ...

Surface exposure dating of the Flims landslide, Graubünden, Switzerland
Geomorphology, 2009Abstract Sixteen boulder and bedrock surfaces related to the Flims landslide (volume 8–12 km3) were dated with 36Cl and 10Be. Exposure ages range from 4900 ± 250 yr to 15,440 ± 1480 yr, including corrections made due to snow cover and karst erosion.

The Accumulation of Cosmogenic Chlorine-36 in Rocks: a Method for Surface Exposure Dating
Science, 1986Because of the reaction of cosmic rays with elements in minerals, chlorine-36 accumulates in rocks exposed at the earth's surface. This suggests that the ratio of chlorine-36 to stable chloride can be used as a geochronometer. Reasonable agreement has been obtained between measurements of chlorine-36 in volcanic rocks of known age and ...

Diffusion of cosmogenic3He in olivine and quartz: implications for surface exposure dating
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1991Abstract Thein situ production of3He in surface rocks by cosmic ray induced nuclear reactions offers an important geochronological tool. To evaluate helium loss problems in this technique, cosmogenic3He diffusivities were measured in quartz and olivine by incremental heating at 150–600°C.
