Outline of Final Research Achievements

By analyzing beryllium-10 with high temporal resolution, we refined the standard curve of cosmic-ray stratigraphy for certain intervals of the Antarctic Dome Fuji ice core. We also improved the age model of the standard curve by correlating with certain annual cosmic-ray events and reviewing the official chronology of the core. Furthermore, we analyzed beryllium-10 in sediment cores retrieved from the equatorial western Pacific and successfully applied the cosmic-ray chronostratigraphy to the revision of the age model of the cores. As a result, we obtained a robust proxy record for cosmic-ray intensity across the minimum of geomagnetic intensity between 170 and 200 ka. Aluminum-26 was also analyzed on the Dome Fuji ice core and partly on the equatorial sediments in order to attempt the radiometric aluminum-26 / beryllium-10 dating. Finally, various approaches, such as accumulation/radiometric dating on continental sediments using cosmogenic nuclides, were also advanced in this project.
