Quaternary Paleoecology Laboratory

Geography Building (GRG) - Rooms 132

Manager: Robert Dull

The Quaternary Paleoecology Laboratory is a facility designed primarily for the processing and analysis of lacustrine, estuarine, and alluvial sediments/cores. Routine analyses include pollen, charcoal, organic matter (LOI), and magnetic susceptibility. Lab capabilities will be expanded in 2004-2005 to include 210Pb-dating by alpha spectroscopy, digital sediment color analysis, and particle size analysis by laser light-scattering. The UT Herbarium Pollen Reference Collection is also housed in the Quaternary Paleoecology Laboratory.
