The Cataclysmic Disasters and Dating Group of the MEXT CURE Program “Transdisciplinary Network Formation" will use the carbon-14 spike-matching and oxygen isotopic dendrochronology to reconstruct past solar activity, climate change, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes and tsunamis with high precision. The group will also focus on the construction and extension of dendrochronological master curves and radiocarbon calibration curves that will serve as the basis for these studies. The National Museum of Japanese History, which constitutes the group, has long been on the user side, relying on other institutions for analysis, but is now being transformed into an institution that conducts its own analysis by installing measurement equipment through the adoption of a large research budget. This presentation will outline the research environment for high-precision dating at the National Museum of Japanese History.
