Carbonates are widely used in geology, paleoclimatology and paleontology as the oxygen and carbon therein are foundational for radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analyses.

Pteropods are sea slugs of <1cm in size, which originated approximately 133 million years ago in the Early Cretaceous. They are commonly analyzed in modern climate as well as paleoclimate studies due to their abundance within the water column as well as their vulnerability to changing environmental conditions.

Since the start of the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide (CO2) has been accumulating in the atmosphere as a result of human activities (e.g. combustion of fossil fuels and land use change) – with an increase of over 100ppm CO2 in the past 60 years alone.
The remains of insects are dated using the exoskeleton made of chitin, which is a fibrous substance made up of polysaccharides. Given the very small size and weight of the exoskeletons, they have historically been very difficult to date.
Beta Analytic’s first webinar was held on April 29, 2020. It is an introduction to isotopic analysis.* Also available with Simplified Chinese subtitles *
