Memorial Session

Oral Presentation

In February 2024, the radiocarbon community suffered a great loss with the passing of Ingeborg Levin, a prominent figure in the field.
This tribute commemorates her scientific journey, which began in 1978 with her diploma thesis "Regional Modelling of Atmospheric CO2 Based on C-13 and C-14 Measurements." Throughout her career, she focused on studying various trace gases, such as CH4, N2O,...

166. Environmental and landscape evolution from Be-10 record in sediments of arid regions (UAE) (MS-3)

Peng Chen (Hohai University)

24/10/2024, 10:00

Memorial Session

Oral Presentation

Natural landscape evolution is strongly linked to the climatic and tectonic settings of a region. Consequently, indicators of landscape changes through time can provide vital information on climate and tectonic changes in the past. Be-10 data from arid regions, although challenging due to the difficulties of finding well preserved archives, can contribute to a better understanding of climate...

182. Seawater circulation in the Nordic Seas and Arctic traced by reprocessing derived 129I using AMS analysis (MS-4)

Prof. Xiaolin Hou (Institute of Earth Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

24/10/2024, 10:40

Memorial Session

Oral Presentation

Seawater circulation and interaction are important processes for pollutant dispersion and environmental and climate change. Salinity and temperature are the conventional parameters, which were widely used for the identification of water masses and circulation in the oceans. Generally, small differences in these two parameters are difficult to detect, which makes precise and accurate...

158. Göran Possnert and his importance for the Lund radionuclide research (MS-5)

Minjie Zheng (Lund University)

24/10/2024, 11:00

Memorial Session

Oral Presentation

The passing of Göran Possnert in October 2022 marked a significant loss to the cosmogenic radionuclides community. His pioneering work laid the foundation for many advancements in this area, and his contributions continue to influence current research and methodologies. The cosmogenic radionuclide group in Lund, led by Raimund Muscheler, has cooperated with Göran Possnert since 2007, focusing...

263. I-129 in water of the Celtic Sea, the English Channel and beyond: sources and environmental impact (MS-6)

Peng He (Chengdu University of Technology)

24/10/2024, 11:20

Memorial Session

Oral Presentation

The English Channel (the Channel) and the Celtic Sea represent a major transport pathway of Atlantic water to the North Sea, with anthropogenic I-129 added to the water parcels. The major source of this I-129 is the liquid discharges from the La Hague nuclear reprocessing facility of I-129 into the Channel that have been going on for the last 60 years, with an estimated total amount exceeding...
