Interglacial Collapse of Ice Sheets revealed by Subglacial Drilling of Bedrock
We determine surface exposure ages of landforms, surface erosion rates, and burial ages of sediments using the cosmogenic nuclides 3He, 10Be, 14C, 21Ne, 26Al, and 36Cl in different mineral systems to study landscape and human evolution on timescales of hundreds to millions of years. We host the NERC funded National Environmental Isotope Facility – Cosmogenic Nuclides (NEIF-CN).
