Beta Analytic

Using Pteropods in Studies

ISO 17025-accredited Beta Analytic offers radiocarbon dating of . Results are available in 3-14 business days. Pteropods are commonly analyzed in modern climate as well as paleoclimate studies due to both their abundance within the water column as well as their vulnerability to changing conditions, particularly driven . For example, pteropods have been used to reconstruct and/or contextualize past climate change events such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), known as the closest analogue to today’s ocean acidification. Through the analysis of fossil evidence from 21 pteropod species, it was found that all pteropod clades survived the PETM and diverged soon thereafter, demonstrating that while they are known to be vulnerable to ocean acidification, they have been resilient in similar past conditions.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Radiocarbon Dating Dissolved Carbon in Water: Dissolved Inorgnaic Carbon (DIC) and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC). After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. This webinar will focus on DOC with keywords in scientific areas that might be of interest. Our agenda outlines a brief overview of DIC versus DOC. We'll talk about some of Beta's R&D studies including on nalgene/amber glass bottles. Furthermore, we will discuss a brief slide on our method.
