- Abstract:
- Cosmogenic nuclide techniques have been used widely in various Earth science areas to measure surface exposure ages, burial events, and to reveal the style and rates of landscape evolution processes across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales.The authors summarize current applications and research methods in several specific Earth science areas, including glacial chronology and geomorphology, tectonic geomorphology, site-specific weathering, erosion and regolith/soil production, watershed and sediment transported processes, alluvial, and fluvial and beach landforms.Uncertainties and limitations that derive from the physical properties of cosmogenic nuclides, geomorphic conditions of sampling places, and from sample preparation and measurement methods are also discussed.
