Applications of noble gas cosmogenic nuclides to geomorphology

The buildup of the cosmogenic nuclides ³He and ²¹Ne in surficial rocks permit exposure ages and erosion rates to be estimated. This dissertation extends the cosmogenic exposure technique to garnets, plagioclase with significant nonspallation ²¹Ne components, and alluvial fill terraces. Garnets from...
