🌎 Cosmogenic Krypton enables reconstruction of landscapes millions of years old
An international research team involving the #UniCologne has found a new way to reconstruct the development of landscapes millions of years ago. The researchers have discovered a rare noble gas called cosmogenic krypton, which provides insight into the residence time of sediments on the Earth's surface.

I #hike, #run, #bake, still watch #TheSimpsons, play #ukulele, and make #geologicmaps (#geology, #geomorphology, #tectonics) mostly in the #Mojave desert. I also dabble in cosmogenic nuclide #geochronology to learn about the timing of #Pleistocene #glacier retreat and #landscapeevolution. Earth Science in the Public Service.
