Summary
Cosmic radiation on the earth’s surface over long timescales creates rare forms (isotopes) of many minerals. These isotopes are known as cosmogenic nuclides. Measuring the relative abundance of these minerals provides insights into current and past processes that have shaped the earth’s surface, including erosion, tectonic processes, glaciation, and sea level changes. The scientific data on these processes is normally collected and measured by independently working groups of scientists, so having the capability to share the data in a consistent way is extremely important for reproducing scient
