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.
