Radiocarbon and cosmic radiation events
Also in “ Scientific meeting”
Theo Murphy meeting organised by Dr Michael Dee, Dr Ben Pope, Professor Matt Owens, and Dr Margot Kuitems
Past spikes in the atmospheric radiocarbon record are the result of bursts of cosmic radiation. Enormous solar storms are thought to be responsible, but their precise magnitude, frequency, and mechanism(s) remains unclear. The recurrence of such an event would pose a major threat to global digital infrastructure. However, their discovery in ancient archives is proving revolutionary for chronology.
The schedule, speaker biographies, and abstracts will be available closer to the meeting date.
