Description of CRONUS-EU, an EU-funded research project, which was planning to establish a better chronology of the Earth's surface events. Using cosmic rays, scientists intended to date changes in landscapes with greater accuracy. It was hoped that the new cosmic-ray methods would shed light on the Earth's past climate cycles, changes in soil erosion, frequency of floods and landslides, and how weathering of rocks affects global warming and cooling. |
