Buriel Dating
Intenede Learning Outcomes:
1. Explain the principles of burial dating and how it differs from surface exposure dating and erosion rate measurements by focusing on the decay of inherited cosmogenic nuclides.
2. Describe the three approaches to burial dating—simple, constrained, and isochron—and identify the conditions under which each method is most applicable.
3. Analyze the relationship between nuclide concentration, burial depth, and postburial production to determine the suitability of a sample for burial dating.
