Samples of buried Scandinavian rocks were collected and are now being analyzed by Lotta Yl\u00e4-Mella and Kaleb Wagner at the Aarhus University Cosmogenic Nuclide Laboratory to measure their unique concentrations of rare radiogenic isotopes. These cosmogenic nuclides (beryllium-10 and aluminum-26) were produced via cosmic ray bombardment while the rocks were exposed at the surface before being plucked from the Baltic Shield and transported southward by ice sheets into the low-lying European Plain. Once buried, nuclides in these rocks decay at a&nbsp;differential rate, which can be modeled numerically to estimate their depositional age. Together with international collaborators (DK, USA), the SPP team aims to develop new quantitative ages for the oldest terrestrial records of continental glaciation in Europe, allowing comparison with marine palaeoclimate archives.<\/p>\n<p>Through regional correlation, the researchers hope to better understand what drove the advent of the great Northern Hemisphere ice sheets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30170 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ig.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-10-summer-field-work_2-843x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"843\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Left:<\/strong> Researchers discussing glacial deposits at a&nbsp;quarry site in eastern Germany.
