The
CRONUS-EU joint work programme aims at the advancement of TCN techniques
in Europe into a robust tool for Earth surface and environmental sciences.
The
objective of the CRONUS-Earth Project is to simultaneously address the
various uncertainties affecting the production and accumulation of in-situ
cosmogenic nuclides, with the goal of producing a widely accepted and
internally consistent set of parameters that can be used in calculating
ages and erosion rates.
The
site of John Stone and colleagues explains some of the background to their
work and provides an overview of cosmogenic isotope research at the
University of Washington. It also serves as a repository for data
generated by the group, descriptions of their lab procedures, technical
information and calculation methods.
The
site of John Gosse provides the basic principles and examples of
application of terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide exposure history methods.
Derek Fabel is responsible for
a site of the CfG-CNL at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research
Centre (SUERC), East Kilbride. At the laboratory in-situ produced
terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides are extracted from rocks and sediment for
analysis by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). You will find a
more detailed description of terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide methods.
At
ANU AMS is performed. Research projects involving cosmogenic nuclides such
as "Glacial geology and climate change", "Geochronology of volcanic
landscapes", "Cosmogenic nuclide production rates" are presented.
