Here is the GSA Today paper about Cuba to download as well as related short essay on working in Cuba and the value of teamwork.

Here are Lee’s papers about cosmogenic dating of Mt. Mansfield and dating of the Laurentide terminal moraine. Please read these for lab.

Here is a paper by Lambeck about sea level rise. It’s dense so try reading (but don’t worry about the geodynamics) and focus on figures 1 and 4.

Here are the data you need as EXCEL spreadsheets (cosmos and radiocarbon)

Pick a geochronology technique useful for geomorphology. Read more about the technique to supplement the lecture and textbook. Then build a web page that includes illustrations and is titled Investigation of dating technique. It should have a paragraph about how the technique works and a paragraph about how it is used to understand Earth surface processes and geomorphology. Then, give citations for the two papers you read about the technique followed by a short summary (several sentences) of each paper.
