TAILIEUCHUNG - RADIOMETRIC DATING

This book explores the diversity of topics related to radiometric dating, with particular emphasis on the method of radiocarbon dating and a cross-check of its results with luminescence measurements. Chemistry and the global carbon cycle is an essential element of life on Earth, because carbon is a component of every living cell, plants and animals. The radioactive isotope 14C was found useful for dating, for which in 1960 Willard Frank Libby received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. | RADIOMETRIC DATING Edited by Danuta Michalska Nawrocka Radiometric Dating Edited by Danuta Michalska Nawrocka Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
