Apparent radiocarbon ( 14 C) ages of marine biogenic samples that derive their carbon from surface seawater dissolved inorganic carbon are on the average about 400 years older than contemporary terrestrial woods or global atmospheric CO2. This age offset is due to mixing of old carbon from the deep ocean and is referred to marine 14 C reservoir effect. Both regional and temporal variations of ocean circulation pattern causes significant spatial and temporal variations in marine 14 C reservoir ages and hence of biogenic surface marine samples. Knowledge of reservoir age is very important to accurately calibrate 14 C-ages of biogenic carbonates and sediment organic matter from marine sediments that are frequently used in paleoceanographic studies. Here the concept of marine 14 C reservoir ages and their quantification are discussed and data for the Indian Ocean region are reviewed. Regional variations of marine 14 C reservoir ages and fossil fuel Suess effect for the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea are analyzed.
