Statistical Radiocarbon Dating and Age Depth Modelling (RDAD01)
https://www.prstatistics.com/course/statistical-radiocarbon-dating-and-age-depth-modelling-rdad01/ Please feel free to share!
18th - 20th May
Course overview: This course will provide attendees with the basics to understand and implement age-depth models for partially dated stratigraphic data. The focus will be on radiocarbon dating but the approach extends to many other forms of dated information, and will be relevant to those who have a wide variety of palaeo-environmental reconstruction problems. As is common in age-depth modelling, the Bayesian paradigm will be used to create the age-depth models, though no prior experience with Bayesian software or methods is required. The course will cover the use of multiple different R packages though the focus will be on the author’s own Bchron software. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own data sets and explore them using the tools covered during the course. Course programme
