Abstract. U-series isotopes and radiocarbon are extensively used for dating and as tracers of various processes during the late Quaternary. Advanced, mass spectrometric U-Th and radiocarbon isotope ratio measurement techniques, as opposed to detection of decay products, routinely achieve high tempor...
