Providing Decision Support for Cosmogenic Isotope Dating
to AI. An automated tool can do boring and repetitive reasoning, freeing experts to do more difficult and creative work. Indirectly, it can make explicit the knowledge and reasoning used by experts in the field. Finally, an automated tool can consider all possibilities, sometimes exploring scenarios that human experts may miss. This article discusses automating reasoning for dating geological l...
متن کاملCosmogenic Stable Isotope Effects in Carbo
Introduction: The 182 Hf– 182 W decay system (t 1/2 =9 My) is useful to date early Solar System processes, notably metal-silicate differentiation [1-10]. Hf-W systematics of refractory inclusions indicate that these objects formed with an initial 182 Hf/ 180 Hf ratio of ~1×10-4 and ε 182 W of –3.47 ± 0.20 [6]. Recent high precision studies revealed negative ε 182 W values relative to CAIs for s...
متن کاملHydrological, Geomorphological, and Biological Applications
The topography of a catchment has a major impact on the hydrological, geomorphological. and biological processes active in the landscape. The spatial distribution of topographic attributes can often be used as an indirect measure of the spatial variability of these processes and allows them to be mapped using relatively simple techniques. Many geographic information systems are being developed ...
متن کاملEstimating Rates of Denudation Using Cosmogenic Isotope Abundances in Sediment
We propose, as a testable hypothesis, a basin-scale approach for interpreting the abundance of in situ produced cosmogenic isotopes, an approach which considers explicitly both the isotope and sediment flux through a drainage basin. Unlike most existing models, which are appropriate for evaluating in situ produced cosmogenic isotope abundance at discrete points on Earth’s surface, our model is ...
متن کاملCalvin: A System for Automating Cosmogenic Isotope Dating
Scientific reasoning is a complex process, alternately requiring flashes of insight and tedious analysis. This dichotomy is evident in constructing a geologic timeline for a landform using cosmogenic isotope dating. Experts in this field frequently spend months on repetitive mathematical tasks, until they have gathered enough information to suddenly understand the data. The Calvin project 1 is ...
