Fields of interest:

• Chronology: 14C measurement, calibration, regional offsets and marine and freshwater reservoir corrections
• Palaeoclimate: Effect of past climate change on the ocean- atmosphere-biosphere system
• Carbon cycle: origin, diagenesis and residence time of organic carbon compounds in sediments, soils, and peats
