An article came out today about a project we are working on with Grant Harley at the University of Southern Mississippi and Ben Raines an environmental reported for the Alabama Media Group . While we have not been out to the site, we have been working on samples here in the lab. From the outside the chunks of wood look pretty beat up but once you cut into them the smell of freshly cut cypress fills the lab. Radio carbon dating at the Lawrence Livermoore National Laboratory reveled that these samples are radio carbon dead, which means they are older than 50,000 year old and cannot be dated accurately! What do you think this says about sea level rise?
The article can be found here.
Check out some of the photos we have taken in the lab.
