Radiocarbon dating is a unique and powerful tool for the analysis of ecosystem processes. Incorporation of radiocarbon analyses into a broader range of controlled experiments and field studies stands to vastly improve both our understanding of C cycling processes in ecosystems and the response of those ecosystems to changes in climate conditions.
My goal for the immediate future is to provide excellent analysis of radiocarbon samples and interpretation of radiocarbon data for my colleagues in the Forest Service, while entering into collaborative projects with research groups when the opportunity and interest is present.
