We are delighted to announce Dr. Charlotte Pearson in the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, with support of co-investigators Dr. Kevin Anchukaitis, Dr. Bryan Black, and Dr. Kaustubh Thirumalai, received a National Science Foundation Major Research Instrument Program grant funding a Mini Carbon Dating System (MICADAS) to measure the amount of radiocarbon or Carbon-14 in organic (and some inorganic) materials at the University of Arizona.

The instrument will be integrated into the research, teaching, and public outreach programs of the world’s founding Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR), which has interwoven with radiocarbon dating since inception of the technique in the 1960s.
