CRONUS-EU

In doing this CRONUS-EU will train a community of future high quality scientists required to develop and apply the techniques for the future benefit of European science and society.

The consortium will develop TCNs into an accurate absolute chronometer for use in solving a wide range of challenges in Earth and environmental sciences. The ultimate goal is the development of an internationally accepted protocol allowing accurate age determinations that are consistent with the mature geochronometers currently available. In the future, users of the techniques must be able to obtain the same ages or process rates when analysing the same samples, irrespective of their scientific background. While this goal is in principle achievable it has not been achieved to date.

Work is supported by the European Community's Program: Improving the Human Research Potential and the Socio-economic Knowledge Base.
