Radiocarbon dating uses the decay of a radioactive isotope of carbon (14C) to measure time
and date objects containing carbon-bearing material. With a half-life of 5,700±30 years …

Radiocarbon (14C) is a critical tool for understanding the global carbon cycle. During the
Anthropocene, two new processes influenced 14C in atmospheric, land and ocean carbon …

The sequestration of organic carbon in seafloor sediments plays a key role in regulating
global climate; however, human activities can disturb previously-sequestered carbon stocks …

Marine sediments play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle by acting as the ultimate sink
of both terrestrial and marine organic carbon. To understand the spatiotemporal variability in …

Radiocarbon (Δ14C) serves as an effective tracer for identifying the origin and cycling of
carbon in aquatic ecosystems. Global patterns of organic carbon (OC) Δ14C values in …

Deep-sea transport of sediment and associated matter, such as organic carbon, nutrients
and pollutants, is controlled by near-bed currents. On the continental slope, these currents …

Riverine transport of particulate organic carbon (POC) associated with terrigenous solids to
the ocean has an important role in the global carbon cycle. To advance our understanding of …

Continental margin sediments represent a major global sink of organic carbon (OC), and as
such exert a key control on Earth's climate. Today, OC burial in marine sediments mainly …

Marine sediments hold vast stores of organic carbon (OC). Techniques to spatially map
sedimentary OC must develop to form the basis of seabed management tools that consider …

The fates of terrestrial organic carbon (OCterr) during fluvial transport from land to ocean are
still not well constrained. This study systematically examines the evolution and dynamics of …
