Thickness Constraints of the Patagonian Ice Sheet Over the Last Glacial Cycle Using Surface Exposure Dating

The study will provide critical empirical field based constraints of the vertical extent of the Patagonian Ice Sheet over the last glacial cycle. In-situ produced terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides 10Be and 26Al are used to date the surface exposure of erratic boulders and/or bedrock on high altitude r...
