While radiocarbon (14C) measurement is usually associated with archaeological or paleontological chronology building, the technique has creative applications in astrophysics, oceanic and atmospheric circulation, hydrology, forensics, art history, aerosol and hydrocarbon research, biofuels, soils science, drug enforcement, wildlife conservation, and more. Penn State’s AMS 14C laboratory gives researchers access to high-precision AMS 14C measurements and interdisciplinary collaboration. This talk will give a sense of the varied and unexpected uses of AMS 14C that may surprise you.
