The NEaar team have a combined total of over fifty years experience of direct relevance to the use of amino acid racemization as a geochronological tool.
The NEaar lab became NERC-recognised in 2008 and has hosted over 100 British and international researchers, from undergraduate students to academic staff.
NEaar has three main scientific objectives:
- to continue actively pioneering analytical advances in amino acid research;
- to welcome visiting researchers and students, giving them the opportunity to learn the technique and analyse their own samples whilst supporting them in data interpretation;
- to provide a “Pay-As-You-Go” amino acid analysis service for the earth science and archaeological science community.
