Dating Quaternary lacustrine sediments in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Reports of erroneously old 14C dates for modern Antarctic materials have thrown doubt into 14C chronologies. The carbon reservoir effect purported to exist in Quaternary lacustrine sediments of the McMurdo Dry Valleys was investigated by studying 14C distribution, and testing alternate dating techni...
