In this overview the technique of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and its use are
described. AMS is a highly sensitive method of counting atoms. It is used to detect very low …

The goal of this paper is to refine the relative and absolute chronology of Epigravettian
culture (26.5–15.0 ka) in eastern Central Europe (ECE) and clarify its relation to the Last …

Sulfate reduction and sulfur–iron geochemistry were studied in 5–6 m deep gravity cores of
Holocene mud from Aarhus Bay (Denmark). A goal was to understand whether sulfate is …

Poznań Radiocarbon Laboratory is equipped with the “Compact Carbon AMS” machine
produced by NEC, and the self-designed lines for graphite production from natural samples …

The characterization of Last Glacial millennial-timescale warming phases, known as
interstadials or Dansgaard–Oeschger events, requires precise chronologies for the study of …

Magnetic susceptibility (MS) was measured with high resolution (5 mm) on a 9 m long, 14C
dated core from Lake Le Bourget (Savoie, France), spanning the last 7200 years. The strong …

The Arabian Peninsula is a key region for understanding climate change and human
occupation history in a marginal environment. The Mundafan palaeolake is situated in …

The Little Ice Age (∼ 1600–1900 AD) and 20th century sediment accumulation rates in
Billefjorden, a subpolar fjord on Svalbard, were reconstructed by applying 210Pb, 137Cs …

South-central Chile is one of the most geodynamically active areas in the world,
characterized by frequent volcanic eruptions and numerous earthquakes, which are both …

The carbon sink function of peatlands is the result of a relatively small imbalance between
biomass production and decay and proposed to be sensitive to changes in environmental …
