[CRYOLIST] Cosmogenic nuclide-focused session at AGU 2019

Dear friends and colleagues,

If you use cosmogenic nuclides to study any aspect of earth surface change, please consider submitting an abstract to AGU session EP007 - Catching Cosmic Rays: Advances in Using Cosmogenic Nuclides to Quantify Earth Surface Processes. The session description is provided below, and other details can be found here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/77207.

We have two confirmed invited speakers:
John Gosse (Dalhousie University)
Emma Harris (UC San Diego)

Session description:
Over the past 40 years, cosmogenic radionuclide (CRN) geochemistry has transformed the study of Earth surface processes, making it possible to date the incision of the world's deepest canyons, derive basin-wide erosion rates from the world's largest catchments, reconstruct the history of glaciers at high latitudes, and quantify weathering rates on rapidly eroding hillslopes. Novel CRN approaches have the potential to provide new insights into the varied processes that shape Earth's surface, ranging in scale from local to global. In this session, we invite contributions that advance the application of CRN for quantifying Earth surface processes, including, but not limited to: paleoclimate reconstruction, quantification of sediment storage dynamics, rapid or long-term landscape change, applications and/or cross-calibration of multiple nuclide and/or multiple mineral systems, production rate calibration, and improved laboratory or measurement techniques.

The abstract submission deadline is July 31. We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!

Thank you from the session conveners,
Alia Lesnek (University at Buffalo)
Simon Pendleton (CU Boulder)
Marisa Repasch (GFZ Potsdam)
