Thomas E. Woodruff's work focuses on using measurements of the isotope beryllium-10 (a rare radioactive form of the element used to date rocks, ice, and soils) to study Earth surface processes. His recent projects include analyzing erosion rates in Puerto Rican watersheds and precisely dating and synchronizing Antarctic ice cores (WAIS Divide) with other geological timelines, particularly around a period of unusual Earth magnetic field behavior known as the Laschamp excursion.
