Landscape reconstruction using cosmogenic isotope dating
The application of cosomogenic radionuclides in the Earth sciences has provided the essential geochronological timing of continental and polar glacial history over the past few millions years, and revolutionised our understanding of the processes controlling landscape evolution on spatial scales of metres to kilometres.
