NSRL works in collaboration with accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurement facilities to provide state-of-the-art radiocarbon preparation and measurement services to the local University and Federal research communities.听 The lab also pursues in-house research on applications of听14C dating to climate change studies, calibration of the听14C timescale, and the use of听14C as a geochemical and geophysical tracer in the Earth system.
