If the Abreu et al. hypothesis is correct, it should be possible to find the same periodicities in the records of cosmogenic
nuclides at earlier times.

To ascertain the age of the boulders strewn by the glaciers and thus come up with a date when glaciers were
at their greatest extent, Willenbring and colleagues used a technique known as cosmogenic
nuclide exposure dating, which measures the chemical residue of supernova explosions.
We will be using cosmogenic
nuclide dating to determine the ages of granite boulders exposed
at high elevations across the eastern margin of Alexander Island.
In a paper on the Energy & Environmental Science web site (17/7/12), meteorologist John Ten Hoeve and environmental engineer Mark Jacobson, both
at Stanford University in California have calculated that, based on estimates of the radioactive
nuclides released
at Fukuhima, a three - dimensional global atmospheric model for radioactive fallout patterns and the linear no - threshold (LNT) model for resultant cancers, there would be between 15 and 1100 linked cancer deaths, with their best estimate being 130 deaths.
