Sedimentary records containing information about past climate and environmental conditions require precise dating if they are to:
- provide precise estimates of the date of climatic/environmental events
- allow the relative timing between different records to be reconstructed.
In order to provide precise estimates of the date of climatic/environmental events careful selection of samples and an understanding of the taphonomy of the samples and relationship to the event of interest being dated is required.
For more information see:
- Chiverell et al 2008
- Foster et al 2008
By using a Bayesian approach, information from a variety of sources such as radiocarbon measurements, OSL measurements, and relative dating (stratigraphy, tephra), can be combined to produce age-depth models for a range of chronological sequences.
