[HQR06-01] Importancen of high-resolution and high density radiocarbon dating for the late Quaternary paleoenvironmental studies
Keywords:Radiocarbon dating, Palaeoclimate, Palaeoenvironment
Recent developments of mass spectrometry enable us to conduct high-precision and high- resolution dating on samples to study paleoenvi- ronmental conditions during the Quaternary. In particular, radiocarbon dating using small accelerator mass spectrometers is a highlight, and combinations with statistical analyses reveal detailed histories of the Earth’s surface environment. In this presentation, we will introduce some new knowldges regarding paleoenvironments using high resolution radiocarbon dating.
