Introduction to Cosmogenic Nuclides and their applications
Intended Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this video, you will be able to:
- Explain the production of cosmogenic nuclides, including the role of cosmic ray interactions and the factors influencing their formation.
- Describe how cosmogenic nuclides are used to determine surface exposure ages, erosion rates, and burial durations, highlighting the differences in sampling and interpretation.
- Identify key factors that affect cosmogenic nuclide production rates, such as altitude, latitude, shielding, and depth, and evaluate their impact on data interpretation.
