Temporal frameworks are crucial to the interpretation of these changes, and we have expertise and facilities in luminescence dating-

- amino acid racemisation (AAR) dating, and radiocarbon dating, as well as established links to dating facilities in other institutions (e.g. electron spin resonance (ESR) at ANU).
We are able to undertake leading edge research in the techniques themselves, as well as apply dating results to broad research questions. Geochronology is coupled with many other techniques in the earth and environmental sciences to better understand the processes of change in climates, biota and landforms.
