PREPRINT REPOSITORY

Welcome to the bleeding edge of cosmogenic-nuclide geochemistry. This page provides access to PDF copies of manuscripts that have been submitted for publication, i.e., are either in review or in press. Thus, many of them have not been fully reviewed by anyone outside our lab. We make every effort to ensure that the most up-to-date version of each manuscript appears here; however, PLEASE DO NOT CITE THEM WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING THE AUTHOR. The author would also welcome any comments, or having his or her attention called to obvious or silly errors. When these articles are actually published, we remove them from this site in an effort to avoid copyright conflicts -- look in our publications section instead. Remember, you saw it here first.

Balco G. The sedimentary record of subglacial erosion by the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis, University of Washington, 2004. Not really a preprint, but this is a convenient way to "publish" it. Largely rehashes information in a variety of published papers, with some bonus data.
