  1. University of Cambridge Godwin Laboratory

    The Godwin Laboratory is a research facility at the University of Cambridge . It was originally set up to investigate radiocarbon dating and its applications, and was one of the first laboratories to determine a radiocarbon calibration curve . The lab is named after the English scientist Harry Godwin . With the late Nicholas Shackleton Professor Sir Nicholas Shackleton in charge, the focus of research shifted to Marine ocean marine isotope records, which document changes in the size of Polar region polar ice sheet s and temperature changes. This research helped to establish the Milankovitch Cycle Milankovitch Theory as the most plausible explanation of glacial interglacial changes over the past million years, and was continued to develop much more extensive geological timescale s, covering the last 30 million years, on the basis of this hypothesis. Other areas researched by members of the laboratory include pollen records and tree ring s as a proxy for past climate. The laboratory changed principal allegiance from the Department of Plant Sciences to the University of Cambridge Department of Earth Sciences Department of Earth Sciences around 1995. In 2005, after Nick Shackleton s retirement, the laboratory was incorporated into the building housing the Department of Earth Sciences, where it continues to operate. It is part of the inter departmental Godwin Institute for Quaternary Research, a loose collection of Cambridge University research facilities and workers focused on research particularly addressing the history of the last 1.8 million years.
