- Three years of funding has been granted by the UK Natural Environment Research Council to Dr. Mike Branney, University of Leicester. QUADLAB is a partner in the project and will be carrying out the Ar/Ar dating.
International Continental Scientific Drilling Program - Potrok Aike Maar Lake Sediment Archive Drilling Project (PASADO)
- Laguna Potrok Aike is located at 52°S within a 770 ka old maar of the Pali Aike Volcanic Field, southern Patagonia, Argentina and is well positioned to capture the dynamics of changes in atmospheric circulation of the southern mid-latitudes with a time resolution out of reach for marine sediments. QUADLAB is providing 40Ar/39Ar ages in the construction of an age-depth model for the lake sediments and their climate record.
