SGER: Radiocarbon (14C)-Calendar Calibration: An Update to "CALIB"

该奖项由探索性研究小额资助计划（SGER）赞助，将改进和扩展用于古气候学领域的放射性碳校准计划（即校准），以提供对气候事件的时间控制。对地球生物样品定年以建立年龄控制对古气候研究至关重要。校准程序（即CALIB）是该企业的基础。CALIB计划需要定期更新，以利用地球化学测量的最新发展和对碳储集层对放射性碳定年的影响的理解。该奖项将帮助研究人员改进全新世和更新世时期的几个关键时期的校准，这些时期处于古气候研究的前沿，受到美国国家科学基金会通过许多项目和跨部门的大力支持。除了更新程序外，研究小组还将修改CALIB软件，使其与微软的Windows和Macintosh操作系统兼容。美国和非美国。在部分由国家科学基金会支持的国际合作项目中，研究人员广泛使用CALIB程序。因此，通过帮助研究界整合其研究成果，CALIB具有很大的效用和影响。

This award, under the auspices of the Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) program, will improve and extend the radiocarbon calibration program (i.e., CALIBRATION) used in the field of paleoclimatology to provide a temporal control for climatic events. Dating geo-biologic samples to establish age control is critical to paleoclimatic investigations. The CALIBRATION program (i.e., CALIB) is fundamental to this enterprise. The CALIB program needs to be periodically updated to take advantage of the latest developments in geochemical measurements and understanding of carbon reservoir effects on radiocarbon dating. This award will help researchers improve the calibration across several critical time periods in the Holocene and Pleistocene time periods that are at the forefront of paleoclimate research intensely supported by the NSF through many Programs and across Directorates. In addition to updating the program, the researcher team will also modify the CALIB software so that it is compatible with Microsoft Windows and Macintosh operating systems. U.S. and non-U.S. researchers, on collaborative international projects supported in part by the National Science Foundation, use the CALIB program extensively. As such, CALIB has great utility and great impact by helping the research community integrate its research efforts.
