Radiocarbon Dating Quaternary Research Samples
Quaternary research focuses on the Earth's Quaternary Period, which is approximately the last two million years of the planet's history. As scientists have found out, this period was dominated by frequent global climate changes that led to a succession of glacial and interglacial ages. Scientists of different backgrounds come together to investigate complex environmental challenges of the past and document patterns and timing of climatic changes to predict the climate in the future.
Quaternary research is interdisciplinary. Scientists involved in quaternary studies include anthropologists, climatologists, geochronologists, geographers, geologists, glaciologists, isotope geochemists, palaeoceanographers, palaeoecologists, palaeontologists, palynologists, and soil scientists.
Researchers oftentimes send sediment/soil, peat, forams, pollen, insect chitin, fish otoliths, and phytoliths. These samples are subject of researches as they often provide valuable insight to climates of the past.
