Facility Long Description:
The Nicoll Lab features a wet lab for sedimentary and geochemical analysis of soils and
sediments, with emphasis on preparation for geochronologic determination such as C-14
and Optical Dating. Field equipment includes differential GPS survey transits and a suite
of GSSI Ground-Penetrating Radar Equipment for the subsurface imaging and analysis of
shallow geologic strata, ice and snow, and built environments such as those made of
concrete. The Nicoll Lab focuses on geological and archaeological research applications,
but has participated in police forensic surveys and damage analysis. For further
information on collaborations, possible synergies, and equipment details please contact
Dr Nicoll.
