As the workhorse of cosmogenic-nuclide chronology, 10Be surface-exposure dating is applied to a growing range of geomorphic and environmental questions. Yet, as with all cosmogenic nuclides, the method's efficacy is contingent on our understanding of the production rate and how it might have varied through time. In principle, such uncertainties can be minimised by careful calibration of the production rate against surfaces for which the exposure age is known independently (e.g., via 14C or U-Th). For the mid-latitude circum North Atlantic, however, the only published calibrations utilising independently dated landforms are those from north-east North America (NENA), Chironico (Switzerland), Rannoch Moor (Scotland) and the Black Forest (Germany). Other 10Be production rates estimates for this region are based largely on assumed ages for the target late-glacial surfaces, introducing the risk of circular reasoning and potentially resulting in over- or under-estimation of 10Be production. The considerable variability among existing production rates translates to disparity among age estimates, thus highlighting the need to (1) calibrate rates against landforms of known age and (2) validate these estimates wherever possible, an approach that also helps minimise the uncertainty associated with scaling locally calibrated production rates to distal locations. Existing scaling models account for spatial variability in nuclide production due to atmospheric thickness, geomagnetic latitude, and fluctuations in geomagnetic field strength, yet geologic validation of these models is rare. This presentation reports the results of our ongoing attempts to validate production rate datasets by comparing apparent exposure ages with existing independent limiting 14C and U-Th ages.
