RESEARCH INTERESTS

AMS 14C dating and its applications in archaeology and climate research, as well as other problems connected to sample preparation and production of reliable ages, calibration problems

Time scales of climatic records (lakes, deep-sea cores, corals, tree rings, etc.) of the past 40,000 years and dating of climatic events, correlation between records based on chronological information

Calibration issues of the radiocarbon time scale, changes in atmospheric 14C content over the past 40,000 years
