«The advantage of isochron dating as compared to simple radiometric dating techniques is that no assumptions are needed about the initial amount of the daughter
nuclide in the radioactive decay sequence.»

As an added bonus, many of the very long - lived

Its full narrative includes: the coupling multi-century climate — cosmogenic
nuclides increasingly detected, the way this coupling is not just a matter of climate - dependent
nuclides transport and deposition, the way ocean lag disqualifies flagship narratives about recent shorter - term modelling purportedly ruling this out, and, the way a 20th century grand maximum would call for a mechanistic incorporation of all this
in 20th century understanding / modelling — only, the mechanism (UV or GCR - clouds, probably the former) has not been well enough understood yet.
And when it did, cosmic rays came screaming into the Earth system and you see,
in basically all sedimentary records, this peak of cosmic ray produced
nuclides».
... The evidence comes from a close correlation between inferred changes
in production rates of the cosmogenic

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 death

nuclides including plutonium can be safely operated
in industrial (rather than laboratory) scale.
Other applications of past geomagnetic field reconstructions include investigations of atmospheric ionisation by galactic cosmic rays (e.g., Usoskin et al. 2008, 2010) or
