SEDIMENT DATING

• Use of the impulse dating methods (¹³⁷Cs, ²⁴¹Am) and the natural ²¹⁰Pb method to determine accumulation rates.
• Alternative radiometric methods are also available where appropriate (e.g. tritium & ⁶⁰Co).
• Application to sediment from diverse environments (coastal, estuarine, marine and lacustrine) for applied research and geotechnical applications.
• Clients include scientists from Environmental Protection Agencies, Academia and Geotechnical companies.
• Links with other specialist groups can include microfossil and ¹⁴C dating.
