Summary

This data release includes three tables containing cosmogenic beryllium-10 and aluminum-26 concentrations and related data from samples collected at four sites in central Alaska in 2020, prepared in 2022 at the University of Vermont (UVM), and measured at the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement lab (PRIME) in 2022. The file "burialAge_siteLocations_centralAK_bender.csv" contains site locations in the NAD83 reference frame, and burial ages computed from raw data contained in the other files. All files are linked by the site_id_short field.

Purpose

This dataset was developed for the purpose of dating the deposition of (1) ancient gravels on terraces along Birch and Beaver Creeks, which are Yukon River tributaries that drain the minerally endowed Yukon-Tanana upland in central Alaska, and (2) the uppermost Nenana Gravel along the northern Alaska Range front in the Tanana basin. All of these sites are located in central Alaska, United States.
