Graduate Opportunities - Novel= cosmogenic approaches for surficial processes and Quaternary geology - Pur= due University - PRIME Lab

The new in situ cosmogenic 14C laboratory= at Purdue University's PRIME Lab is seeking motivated new Ph.D. students i= nterested in developing applications of in situ cosmogenic 14C (in situ 14C= ) for surficial process and Quaternary geologic studies. In situ 14C is pro= duced by cosmic rays incident on terrestrial materials in a manner similar = to other commonly measured in situ cosmogenic nuclides such as 10Be or 26Al= . However, its significantly shorter half-life enables one to explore surfa= ce processes in ways previously unavailable using only long-lived or stable= cosmogenic nuclides. In particular, we are looking for students interested= in studying Holocene glacial chronologies and/or rapid surface processes.<= /span>&= nbsp;
