Direct atmospheric14CO2measurements began in New Zealand in 1954, initially to improve14C as a dating tool, but quickly evolving into a method for understanding the carbon cycle. These early14CO2measurements immediately demonstrated the existence of

Measurements of near-sea-level tropospheric Δ14CO2 have been made at Wellington, New Zealand since December 1954; these measurements comprise the longest such record available. The Δ14C rose from −10‰ in 1955 peaking at 695‰ in 1965 as a resu

We have developed sample pretreatments for silk for radiocarbon dating. Characteristics of silk under different types of pretreatment were investigated, as well as the behavior of dye and possible contaminants. We found that dye could be removed comp

The last 100 000 yr record of volcaniclastic sedimentation in the Rotoaira Basin reflects the critical role played by tectonic and eruptive activity that led to: (1) the catastrophic emplacement of Te Whaiau Formation (60–55 ka); (2) major episodes

Archaeological textiles are prepared and radiocarbon dated by two different methods and the results compared to demonstrate the effective removal of contaminating carbon. The distributions of ages of textiles measured at the Rafter Radiocarbon Lab fa

We develop a high precision Δ 14 CO 2 measurement capability in 2-5 L samples of whole air for implementation within existing greenhouse gas flask sampling networks. The long-term repeatability of the measurement is 1.8%o (1-sigma), as determined fr

[1] We use the nearly ideal tracer 14CO2 to estimate the fossil fuel CO2 enhancement in boundary layer air at two sites in New England and Colorado. Improved Δ14C measurement precision of 1.6–2.6‰ provides fossil fuel CO2 detection capability of
