> Special Session 7: Terrestrial In Situ Cosmogenic Nuclide Techniques and
> Applications
>
> In-situ-produced terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides have been used to
> constrain chronologies, erosion rates, and burial histories over a wide
> range of temporal and spatial scales. Development of the analytical and
> chemical methods over the past 15 years has made it possible to reach
> precisions that allow high resolution questions to be addressed. Recent
> improvements in the understanding of cosmic ray production rates have
> substantially decreased systematic uncertainties in the interpretation of
> exposure histories throughout the entire Plio-Quaternary epoch. Single and
> multiple isotopes have provided information on landscape evolution,
> specifically in the fields of surficial and tectonic processes and history,
> and in geoarcheology. Future applications include surface uplift histories
> and will involve coupling the cosmogenic isotope techniques with
> thermochronometric methods. This special session will be devoted to sharing
> cutting edge research using cosmogenic nuclides to address geological
> questions of all temporal and spatial scales.
>
> Although any application will be suitable, we particularly encourage
> presentations involving applications of cosmogenic isotopes to study
> high-latitude surficial processes and events.
