Micrometeorites are estimated to represent the main part of the present flux of extraterrestrial
matter found on the Earth's surface and provide valuable samples to probe the …

Geological reconstruction of the retreat history of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) since
the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is essential for understanding the response of the ice sheet …

The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body in the asteroid belt 466 million years (Ma) ago
still delivers almost a third of all meteorites falling on Earth. Our new extraterrestrial chromite …

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 …

Micrometeorites originate from the interplanetary dust complex and continuously fall to the
Earth's surface in large amounts. About 10 to 20% of micrometeorites are not melted upon …

A newly discovered sedimentary accumulation of micrometeorites in the Sør Rondane
Mountains of East Antarctica, close to the Widerøefjellet summit at∼ 2750 m above sea …

Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet stores a vast amount of freshwater, which makes it the
single largest potential contributor to future sea-level rise. However, the lack of well …

Large airbursts, the most frequent hazardous impact events, are estimated to occur orders of
magnitude more frequently than crater-forming impacts. However, finding traces of these …

Calculating cosmogenic-nuclide surface-exposure ages is critically dependent on a
knowledge of the altitude of the sample site. Changes in altitude have occurred through time …

Past fluctuations of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are of fundamental interest because
of the possibility of WAIS collapse in the future and a consequent rise in global sea level …
