Foreword
The content of this book originated as lectures and presentations for the short course “Radiocarbon in Ecology and Earth System Science” taught by many of the authors of this volume. This course was taught for the first time at the University of California, Irvine, in 2004, and was modeled after a stable isotope short course developed by Dr. Jim Ehleringer and his many colleagues. It was our intention to promote radiocarbon as a standard scientific tool available for ecology and Earth system science research, much as has happened with stable isotopes over the previous several decades. The development of this course was made possible by a generous grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation that built the W.M. Keck Carbon Cycle Accelerator Mass Spectrometer Facility in the Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine. The establishment of this facility was led by Susan Trumbore, John Southon, and Ellen Druffel, with many of the authors of this volume also contributing much time and effort to its creation a
