Exposure ages of glacial deposits in the Ford Ranges, Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica

This data set consists of exposure ages for glacial deposits and glaciated bedrock surfaces in the Ford Ranges, Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica. Most samples are glacially transported clasts exposed during the retreat of ice since the last glacial maximum, 10,500 yr B.P. to present. There are a few bedrock samples with longer and more complicated exposure histories. The ages are based on concentrations of the cosmic-ray-produced nuclides Be-10 and Al-26. The primary data are sample locations and exposure ages. Ages are calculated using currently accepted nuclide production rates and correction factors. The data set also contains all details of the chemical and isotopic analyses needed to re-compute exposure ages if nuclide production rates or correction factors are revised in future.
