Radiocarbon (14C) is essential for creating chronologies to study the timings and drivers of
pivotal events in human history and the Earth system over the past 55,000 years. It is also a …

Annually resolved measurements of the radiocarbon content in tree-rings have revealed
rare sharp rises in carbon-14 production. These 'Miyake events' are likely produced by rare …

Abstract Abrupt radiocarbon (14C) excursions, or Miyake events, in sequences of
radiocarbon measurements from calendar-dated tree-rings provide opportunities to assign …
