Radiocarbon Dating the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (Ca. 14–9 14 C Ka Bp) in Terrestrial and Marine Records: The Need for New Quality Assurance Protocols
The publication during the 1990s of Greenland ice-core records spanning the transition from the Last Cold Stage to the present interglacial (ca. 14–9 14 C ka BP) presented new challenges to scientists working on marine and terrestrial sequences from this important time interval. In particular, there...
