This workshop is free and will be fully virtual. Following the theme of IGCP 725, it will cover the basics “from cores to code”. Topics will include: field sampling strategies across environments and timescales of interest; sample handling and preparation; a behind-the-scenes look at ¹⁴C lab analyses, including cutting-edge radiocarbon tools; processing and calibration of ¹⁴C results; and age-depth modeling.

Details and the full list of proposed topics can be found in the attached PDF flyer and on the website. Please register by January 7 at this link: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdaVeJaXZ-nqC8a2YM0g4LjiJch13SeugBZqQaNsalxy5UoVQ/viewform]

The workshop will have three components: 

• Advance Recorded Presentations:Twelve, 15-20 minute pre-recorded presentations to be posted one week in advance of the workshop (by 10 January 2022) on the IGCP 725 website.
• Day of the Workshop:two synchronous breakout sessions will be held. Each will include a 5-minute recap talk by each expert, followed by the opportunity for attendees to interact with topical experts and discuss their own data/project needs and questions.
  • Breakout Session #1:held at 00:00-01:00 GMT [UTC] on 19 January.
  • Breakout Session #2: held at 15:00-16:00 GMT [UTC] on 19 January.

The same three breakout sessions will be held concurrently during both timeslots: (1) Field Sampling; (2) Laboratory Preparation and Analysis; and (3) Data Processing and Age-Depth Modeling. Note that not all presenters will be present at both breakout sessions. Recordings of all presentations and breakout sessions will be made available to all pre-registered attendees.
