Data production is in full swing!

We returned from our 2008 field season with an impressively large number of samples (almost 400!) and production is coming along well in the new UVM Cosmogenic Laboratory. We plan to analyze the in situ ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al content of bedrock samples, boulder samples, and ice-bound clasts, as well as the meteoric ¹⁰Be content of silt trapped in dirty basal ice. We just took our first trip out to the Livermore National Laboratory in early December and returned home with data on almost 100 samples, and we're now trying to figure out what it all means. We'll spend the rest of this winter and early spring processing more samples in the Cosmogenic Laboratory, followed by another trip to Livermore. Stay tuned for more updates!
