Holocene rockfalls in the southern Negev Desert, Israel and their relation to Dead Sea fault earthquakes
Open AccessYair Rinat, Ari Matmon et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2014
Rockfall ages in tectonically active regions provide information regarding frequency and magnitude of earthquakes. In the hyper-arid environment of the Dead Sea fault (DSF), southern Israel, rockfalls are most probably triggered by earthquakes. We dated rockfalls along the western margin of the DSF using terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides (TCN). At each rockfall site, samples were collected from simultaneously exposed conjugate boulders and cliff su…

Moraine chronosequence of the Donnelly Dome region, Alaska
Open AccessAri Matmon, Jason P Briner et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2010
We present 10 Be exposure ages from moraines in the Delta River Valley, a reference locality for Pleistocene glaciation in the northern Alaska Range. The ages are from material deposited during the Delta and Donnelly glaciations, which have been correlated with MIS 6 and 2, respectively. 10 Be chronology indicates that at least part of the Delta moraine stabilized during MIS 4/3, and that the Donnelly moraine stabilized ∼ 17 ka. These ages correl…
Timing of surficial process changes down a Mojave Desert piedmont
Open AccessKyle K Nichols, Paul R Bierman et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2007
We measured 10 Be and 26 Al in 29 sediment samples to infer the history and millennial-scale rates of change down a low-gradient piedmont, a common but enigmatic landform that dominates the Mojave Desert. Nuclide data suggest that a large volume of sediment was deposited on the proximal East Range Road piedmont in Fort Irwin, California, ∼ 75,500 yr ago. Since then, this material has been stable or eroding slowly. In contrast, on the distal piedm…

Isotopic insights into smoothening of abandoned fan surfaces, Southern California
Open AccessAri Matmon, Kyle Nichols et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2006
Cosmogenic nuclide concentrations measured on abandoned fan surfaces along the Mojave section of the San Andreas Fault suggest that sediment is generated, transported, and removed from the fans on the order of 30–40 kyr. We measured in situ produced cosmogenic 10 Be, and in some cases 26 Al, in boulders ( n = 15), surface sediment ( n = 15), and one depth profile ( n = 9). Nuclide concentrations in surface sediments and boulders underestimate fan…

Early agriculture in the Eastern Grand Canyon of Arizona, USA
Open AccessSidney W Davis, Marie E Davis et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2000References: 3
Abandoned fields in Colorado River alluvium in the eastern Grand Canyon show signs of primitive agriculture. Presence of maize pollen in association with buried soils near Comanche Creek suggests that farming began prior to 3130 yr B.P. Cotton pollen, identified in buried soils near Nankoweap Creek, dates to 1310 yr B.P., approximately 500 years earlier than previously reported anywhere on the Colorado Plateau. Farming spanned three millennia in …
Temporal 10 Be Variations in Ice
Open AccessJuerg Beer, Michael Andree et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon1983Cited by: 3References: 10
10 Be (T 1/2 = 1.5·10 6 y) is mainly produced in the atmosphere by cosmic ray spallation reactions on nitrogen and oxygen. About 70 % of the production takes place in the stratosphere. 10 Be becomes attached to aerosols within a very short time. If 10 Be is produced in the stratosphere some latitudinal mixing occurs. Most of the 10 Be is transferred to the troposphere during spring and early summer when, mainly at median latitudes, large stratosp…
