Chronology of the last glacial cycle in the European Alps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarise the history of glacier advances in the European Alps between the last Eemian and the Holocene and conclude that during this time glaciers were most extensive, extending tens of kilometres out onto the forelands, between 30 and 18'ka, synchronous with the global ice volume maximum of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross sections for the production of residual nuclides by low- and medium-energy protons from the target elements c, n, o, mg, al, si, ca, ti, v, mn, fe, co, ni, cu, sr, y, zr, nb, ba and au

TL;DR: In this paper, a consistent database covering presently ca 550 nuclear reactions and containing nearly 15,000 individual cross sections of which about 10000 are reported here for the first time, providing a basis for model calculations of the production of cosmogenic nuclides in extraterrestrial matter by solar and galactic cosmic ray protons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale erosion rates from in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclides in European river sediments

TL;DR: In this article, the cosmogenic nuclide-derived erosion rate estimates are used for rapid, catchment-wide assessment of time-integrated rates of bedrock weathering and erosion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ETH Zurich AMS facilities: Performance parameters and reference materials

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive status report of all three AMS systems currently operated by the Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics (LIP) at ETH Zurich and documents their performance and operation parameters are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erosion and Exhumation in the Himalaya from cosmogenic isotope inventories of river sediments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used cosmogenic nuclides (10Be and 26Al) analyzed in quartz from river sediments from the Upper Ganges catchment to make the first direct measurements of large-scale erosion rates in a rapidly uplifting mountain belt.
