We introduce a set of methods for analyzing cosmogenic-nuclide depth profiles that formally integrates surface erosion and muogenic production, while retaining the advantages of the linear inversion. For surfaces with erosion, we present solutions for both erosion rate and total eroded thickness, each with their own advantages. For practical applications, erosion must be constrained from external information, such as soil-profile analysis. By combining linear inversion with Monte Carlo simulation of error propagation, our method jointly assesses uncertainty arising from measurement error and erosion constraints. Using example depth profile data sets from the Beida River, northwest China and Lees Ferry, Arizona, we show that our methods robustly produce comparable ages for surfaces with different erosion rates and inheritance. Through hypothetical examples, we further show that both the erosion rate and eroded-thickness approaches produce reasonable age estimates so long as the total erosion less than twice the nucleon attenuation length. Overall, lack of precise constraints for erosion rate tends to be the largest contributor of age uncertainty, compared to the error from omitting muogenic production or radioactive decay.\u0000","PeriodicalId":12723,"journal":{"name":"Geochronology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77353746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new luminescence erosion meter has huge potential for inferring erosion rates on sub-millennial scales for both steady and transient states of erosion, which is not currently possible with any existing techniques capable of measuring erosion. This study applies new rock luminescence techniques to a well-constrained scenario provided by the Beinn Alligin rock avalanche, NW Scotland. Boulders in this deposit are lithologically consistent and have known cosmogenic nuclide ages and independently derived Holocene erosion rates. We find that luminescence-derived exposure ages for the Beinn Alligin rock avalanche were an order of magnitude younger than existing cosmogenic nuclide exposure ages, suggestive of high erosion rates (as supported by field evidence of quartz grain protrusions on the rock surfaces). Erosion rates determined by luminescence were consistent with independently derived rates measured from boulder edge roundness. Inversion modelling indicates a transient state of erosion reflecting the stochastic nature of erosional processes over the last ∼4.5 kyr in the wet, temperate climate of NW Scotland. Erosion was likely modulated by known fluctuations in moisture availability and to a lesser extent temperature, which controlled the extent of chemical weathering of these highly lithified rocks prior to erosion. The use of a multi-elevated temperature, post-infra-red, infra-red stimulated luminescence (MET-pIRIR) protocol (50, 150 and 225 ∘C) was advantageous as it identified samples with complexities that would not have been observed using only the standard infra-red stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signal measured at 50 ∘C, such as that introduced by within-sample variability (e.g. surficial coatings). This study demonstrates that the luminescence erosion meter can infer accurate erosion rates on sub-millennial scales and identify transient states of erosion (i.e. stochastic processes) in agreement with independently derived erosion rates for the same deposit.","PeriodicalId":12723,"journal":{"name":"Geochronology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78260379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The preservation of cosmogenic nuclides that accumulated during periods of prior exposure but were not subsequently removed by erosion or\u0000radioactive decay complicates interpretation of exposure, erosion, and burial ages used for a variety of geomorphological applications. In glacial\u0000settings, cold-based, non-erosive glacier ice may fail to remove inventories of inherited nuclides in glacially transported material. As a result,\u0000individual exposure ages can vary widely across a single landform (e.g., moraine) and exceed the expected or true depositional age. The surface\u0000processes that contribute to inheritance remain poorly understood, thus limiting interpretations of cosmogenic nuclide datasets in glacial\u0000environments. Here, we present a compilation of new and previously published exposure ages of multiple lithologies in local Last Glacial Maximum\u0000(LGM) and older Pleistocene glacial sediments in the McMurdo Sound region of Antarctica. Unlike most Antarctic exposure chronologies, we are able to\u0000compare exposure ages of local LGM sediments directly against an independent radiocarbon chronology of fossil algae from the same sedimentary unit\u0000that brackets the age of the local LGM between 12.3 and 19.6 ka. Cosmogenic exposure ages vary by lithology, suggesting that bedrock source\u0000and surface processes prior to, during, and after glacial entrainment explain scatter. 10Be exposure ages of quartz in granite, sourced\u0000from the base of the stratigraphic section in the Transantarctic Mountains, are scattered but young, suggesting that clasts entrained by sub-glacial\u0000plucking can generate reasonable apparent exposure ages. 3He exposure ages of pyroxene in Ferrar Dolerite, which crops out above outlet\u0000glaciers in the Transantarctic Mountains, are older, which suggests that clasts initially exposed on cliff faces and glacially entrained by rock\u0000fall carry inherited nuclides. 3He exposure ages of olivine in basalt from local volcanic bedrock in the McMurdo Sound region contain many\u0000excessively old ages but also have a bimodal distribution with peak probabilities that slightly pre-date and post-date the local LGM; this suggests\u0000that glacial clasts from local bedrock record local landscape exposure. With the magnitude and geological processes contributing to age scatter in\u0000mind, we examine exposure ages of older glacial sediments deposited by the most extensive ice sheet to inundate McMurdo Sound during the\u0000Pleistocene. These results underscore how surface processes operating in the Transantarctic Mountains are expressed in the cosmogenic nuclide\u0000inventories held in Antarctic glacial sediments.\u0000","PeriodicalId":12723,"journal":{"name":"Geochronology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87388658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although analyses of tephra-derived glass shards have been undertaken in New\u0000Zealand for nearly four decades (pioneered by Paul Froggatt), our study is\u0000the first to systematically develop a formal, comprehensive, open-access\u0000reference dataset of glass-shard compositions for New Zealand tephras. These\u0000data will provide an important reference tool for future studies to identify\u0000and correlate tephra deposits and for associated petrological and\u0000magma-related studies within New Zealand and beyond. Here we present the\u0000foundation dataset for TephraNZ, an open-access reference dataset for\u0000selected tephra deposits in New Zealand. Prominent, rhyolitic, tephra deposits from the Quaternary were identified,\u0000with sample collection targeting original type sites or reference locations\u0000where the tephra's identification is unequivocally known based on\u0000independent dating and/or mineralogical techniques. Glass shards were\u0000extracted from the tephra deposits, and major- and trace-element geochemical\u0000compositions were determined. We discuss in detail the data reduction\u0000process used to obtain the results and propose that future studies follow a\u0000similar protocol in order to gain comparable data. The dataset contains\u0000analyses of glass shards from 23 proximal and 27 distal\u0000tephra samples characterising 45 eruptive episodes ranging from Kaharoa (636 ± 12 cal yr BP) to the Hikuroa Pumice member (2.0 ± 0.6 Ma)\u0000from six or more caldera sources, most from the central Taupō Volcanic\u0000Zone.

Geochemistry alone cannot be used to distinguish between glass shards from\u0000the following tephra groups: Taupō (Unit Y in the post-Ōruanui\u0000eruption sequence of Taupō volcano) and Waimihia (Unit S); Poronui (Unit\u0000C) and Karapiti (Unit B); Rotorua and Rerewhakaaitu; and\u0000Kawakawa/Ōruanui, and Okaia.

The dose rate of the 90Sr / 90Y beta source used in most\u0000luminescence readers is a laboratory key parameter. There is a\u0000well-established body of knowledge about parameters controlling accuracy and\u0000precision of the calibration value but some hard-to-explain inconsistencies\u0000still exist. Here, we have investigated the impact of grain size, aliquot\u0000size and irradiation geometry on the resulting calibration value through\u0000experiments and simulations. The resulting data indicate that the dose rate\u0000of an individual beta source results from the interplay of a number of\u0000parameters, most of which are well established by previous studies. Our\u0000study provides evidence for the impact of aliquot size on the absorbed dose\u0000in particular for grain sizes of 50–200 µm. For this grain-size\u0000fraction, the absorbed dose is enhanced by ∼ 10 %–20 % as\u0000aliquot size decreases due to the radial increase of dose rate towards\u0000the centre of the aliquot. The enhancement is most variable for 50–100 µm\u0000grains mounted as aliquots of < 8 mm size. The enhancement is\u0000reversed when large grains are mounted as small aliquots due to the edge\u0000effect by which the dose induced by backscattered electrons is reduced.\u0000While the build-up of charge dictates the increase of absorbed dose with the\u0000increase of grain size, this principle becomes more variable with changing\u0000irradiation geometry. We conclude that future calibration samples should\u0000consist of subsamples composed of small, medium, large and very large quartz\u0000grains, each obtaining several gamma doses.

The chronology of Co1401 derives from accelerated mass spectrometer radiocarbon ages, optically stimulated luminescence dating, and correlation of the relative palaeointensity of 642 discrete samples with the GLOPIS-75 reference curve. This study focuses on the part >10 ka but although includes preliminary results for the upper part of the core. The record includes the geomagnetic excursions Laschamps and Mono Lake, and resolves sufficient geomagnetic features to establish a chronology that continuously covers ~62 ka. The results reveal continuous sedimentation and high sedimentation rate between 45 and 95 cm ka−1. High lock-in depths are suggested from the low variability of the magnetic record compared to data sets of reference records with lower sedimentation rate. Although the horizontal component of the characteristic remanent magnetization can only be used with caution because Co1401 was cored without core segment overlap, the magnetic record of Co1401 is the only high-resolution record of relative palaeointensity and palaeosecular variations from the Arctic tangent cylinder going back to ~62 ka.\u0000","PeriodicalId":12723,"journal":{"name":"Geochronology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88645538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
