Description :
In this study, the AA. use cosmogenic He 3 exposure-age dating to determine emplacement ages of boulders from the most prominent moraines in the Fish Creek drainage of Boulder Mountain. They develop a simple correction for their exposure-ages using samples shielded from cosmogenic radiation to account for inputs of non-cosmogenic He 3. Finally, they compare their exposure-age determinations with other glacial chronologies from the Western U.S.
