Cosmogenic isotopes (or cosmogenic nuclides) play in increasingly important role in geosciences.

Third course treads the formation, measurement and geologic applications of cosmic-ray-produced radionuclides.

Lecture notes (pdf-files):

cos_1 Cosmic-rays, discovery of cosmic rays, production mechamisms, variation in production rate

cos_2 In situ produced cosmogenic isotopes, scaling factors, banana plot, burrial dating

cos_3 Measurment

cos_4 Applications 1

cos_5 Applications 2

cos_6 Applications 3
