BETA TESTING VERSION – Database remains in development. We are in the process of refining the interface and loading data.
We are working to make more than 30 years of cosmogenic isotopic data public with support from the US National Science Foundation. Currently, we are making much of the data public including all of our quality controls (blanks, UVM-A, CRONUS-N) and all extraction data including yields and quartz purity. We are releasing isotopic data for published data but unpublished data are currently only accessible by sample owners.
Cosmogenic nuclides have revolutionized the study of Earth giving us a way to to measure the age of landforms, estimate the rate at which Earth erodes, understand climate change, and trace sediment across Earth's surface. Since 1994, UVM has maintained a clean laboratory dedicated to the preparation of samples for 10-Be, 26-Al, and 36-Cl. From 2018-2023, the facility was supported by NSF Division of Earth Science Instrumentation and Facilities under EAR-1735676. Funding continues (2023-2029) under EAR-2300560.
