Dr Gordon Bromley

Gordon Bromley is heading a new collaborative project, funded by Geological Survey Ireland (Short Call 2022 programme), entitled ‘A multi-proxy geology approach to resolving critical uncertainties in Irish cosmogenic nuclide geochronology. Involving partners at UCD, University of Maine, and Maynooth University, this Galway-led 14 month-long investigation will combine cosmogenic geochemistry and traditional techniques such as 14C and U-Th dating, along with Quaternary geomorphology, to constrain in detail the demise of the last Irish ice sheet and help calibrate the cosmogenic technique for improved application throughout Ireland.
