Radiocarbon in Ecology and Earth System Science

In collaboration with the Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry and the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society, Northern Arizona University, the University of California, Irvine, will give a radiocarbon short course.
Participant will learn about the use of radiocarbon in ecology and Earth system science.

Hands-on activities will focus on creating a tracer-free lab environment and avoiding contamination in the field and lab, collecting samples in the field, choosing standards and blanks, processing and analyzing samples in the laboratory, and analyzing and interpreting radiocarbon data.
