Mark Roberts (foreground) and Brad Rosenheim work on the Continuous Flow Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (CFAMS), a new C-14 measurement system being built at WHOI. When complete, CFAMS will be a significant advance in the way radiocarbon measurements are made on small samples and at high resolution, critical in determining the age of organic material for climate and other studies.
