Abstract

ABSTRACTDirect atmospheric14CO2measurements began in New Zealand in 1954, initially to improve14C as a dating tool, but quickly evolving into a method for understanding the carbon cycle. These early14CO2measurements immediately demonstrated the existence of an “Atom Bomb Effect,” as well as an “Industrial Effect.” These two gigantic tracer experiments have been utilized via14CO2measurements over the years to produce a wealth of knowledge in multiple research fields including atmospheric carbon cycle research, oceanography, soil science, and aging of post-bomb materials.
