Dynamo Models of the Solar Cycle (2005, methodology): “This idea finds support in the (10)Be radioisotope record, which shows a clear and uninterrupted cyclic signal through the Maunder Minimum (see Panels B and C of Figure 19; also Beer et al., 1998). Strictly speaking, thresholding a variable controlled by a single dynamical state subject to amplitude”
Large variations in Holocene solar activity: Constraints from 10Be in the Greenland Ice Core Project ice core (2006, methodology): “Yet, cosmogenic radionuclides turned out to be particularly suitable for extending the record of past solar variability [Beer, 2000a].”
Cosmic Rays and Climate (2005, background): “On the other hand, substantial magnetic variability of the Sun on decadel, centennial and millennial time scales is well established from magnetometer measurements over the last 150 y [3] and from archives of 14C in tree rings and 10Be in ice cores [4].”
The AD775 cosmic event revisited: the Sun is to blame (2013, background): “However, since the dating of the 10Be series is related to the resolution of the stratigraphic intervals sampled and is dependent on an age-depth model between tie points, dating uncertainties of several years are possible in the ice-core datasets (Beer 2000; Horiuchi et al. 2007).”
A History of Solar Activity over Millennia (2008, background): “, Be and C), which are produced by cosmic rays in the Earth’s atmosphere (e.g, Stuiver and Quay, 1980; Beer et al., 1990; Bard et al., 1997; Beer, 2000).”
Solar radiative output and its variability: evidence and mechanisms (2004, background): “These proxies include the aa index of geomagnetic activity since 1882 (Mayaud, 1972) and the 14C and 10Be cosmogenic isotopes archived in tree-rings and ice-cores, respectively, over past millennia (Bard et al., 1997; Beer, 2000).”
The solar magnetic field (2006, background): “Spectral analysis of the isotope data in fact reveals significant signals at periods around 90 years (the Gleissberg cycle, which is also found in the sunspot record [47]), 210 years, and 2200 years [45, 48, 49].”
The Global Atmospheric Electrical Circuit and Climate (2004, background): “A long archive of Be-10 data exists from an analysis of deposits in the Greenland ice core, which readily shows the 11 year solar cycle modulation of cosmic rays (Beer, 2000).”
A History of Solar Activity over Millennia (2008, unknown): “In addition, the count rate of a “pseudo” neutron monitor (i.e., a count rate of a neutron monitor if it was operated in the past) is considered as a solar/heliospheric index (e.g., Beer, 2000; McCracken and Beer, 2007).”
The Maunder minimum (1645–1715) was indeed a grand minimum: A reassessment of multiple datasets (2015, methodology): “…through sunspot activity, cosmic ray variability is a good indicator of solar activity, especially on time scales longer than a solar cycle (Beer 2000; Beer et al. 2012; Usoskin 2013 we estimate the heliospheric conditions evaluated for the period around the MM, using di ﬀ erent scenarios…”
Solar Dynamo Theory (2014, background): “Other indirect proxies, notably cosmogenic radioisotopes (e.g., Beer 2000, Usoskin 2013), make it possible to go much further back in time, although with some loss of temporal resolution.”
