Science applications

The whole point of the ICE-D project is to enable synoptic applications of large amounts of cosmogenic-nuclide data. Here are some examples.

ICE-D:ANTARCTICA

Antarctic deglaciation in one figure: a blog posting by Greg Balco that summarizes Holocene exposure-age data from Antarctica to highlight the fact that nearly all LGM-to-present ice sheet thinning in Antarctica appears to have taken place in only a few thousand years in the early to middle Holocene.

ICE-D:ALPINE

Were there any Younger Dryas glacier advances in the American cordillera?: an EGU 2021 presentation that tries to explain how to implement error-tolerant paleoclimate hypothesis testing with a large data set of exposure ages on alpine glacier moraines.

ICE-D:CALIBRATION

What exactly is the Al-26/Be-10 production ratio anyway? An article in Geosciences by Chris Halsted that exploits a large number of paired-nuclide measurements from simply-exposed samples in the ICE-D:ALPINE and ICE-D:CALIBRATION databases to show that this parameter is probably a lot better constrained than we thought it was.

The CREp online exposure age calculator: CREp uses the ICE-D:CALIBRATION database to provide highly configurable production rate calibration data for exposure-dating applications.
