Quaternary Geochronology
Dry Valleys Antarctica glacier

 

Chronology provides the framework for correlating diverse paleoclimatic, geologic, archaeologic, and biologic records. Institute members address questions such as:

♦ How has the marine radiocarbon reservoir effect varied over time and space?

♦ How can we effectively date materials older than the limit of the radiocarbon method?

♦ What factors contribute to radiocarbon reservoir effects in lacustrine and marine settings?
