Liu Yu, Wang Shijie, Liu Xiuming. New Advance of Cosmogenic Nuclides Dating in Geochronology Research[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 2012, 27(4): 386-397.

Based on the concentration of cosmogenic nuclides in exposed rocks or burial materials near the surface, which can calculate its exposure age or burial age, it is possible to evaluate  the important geological information of erosion rate or uplift rate in study area. Now, this method has become an important approach on geological and landscape evolution of Late Cenozoic era. We focus our attention on the following aspects: ①The newest researches on10Be, advances and modifications on calculation model of 26Al/ 10Be pairs, and progresses of 26Al-10Be-21Ne dating method; ②Study and application progresses of 36Cl in carbonate rocks; ③Researches and applications of new cosmogenic nuclides about 53Mn,41Ca etc.; ④Applications of cosmogenic nuclides geochronology in domestic studies. The major problems of cosmogenic nuclides dating method and the next research direction are analyzed at last.
