iceTEA: Tools for plotting and analysing cosmogenic-nuclide surface-exposure data from former ice margins

Abstract

Cosmogenic-nuclide surface-exposure data provide important constraints on the thickness, extent and behaviour of ice masses in the geological past. A number of online calculators provide the cosmogenic nuclide community with a means of easily calculating surface-exposure ages. Here we provide a platform for plotting and analysing such data. This paper describes a suite of freely accessible numerical tools for visualising, evaluating and correcting surface-exposure data that are used to reconstruct past glacier and ice sheet geometries.
