Nat Lifton

Nat is the man who perfected ¹⁴C measurements in rock. We have shared samples with him to assist in production rate calibration and are working together on rocks collected from the margin of the Greenland ice sheet to ensure those bearing ¹⁰Be have no ¹⁴C and thus have not seen recent exposure.

Doctoral Degree
