Inga Kerber

Research interests

• ²³⁰Th/U dating, i. e. measurement protocols and data evaluation

• (multi-collector inductively coupled plasma) mass spectrometry

• analysis of age distributions as a palaeoclimate proxy

• secondary carbonates (speleothems and cold-water corals)

Publications

• Simultaneous U and Th isotope measurements for U-series dating using MCICPMS
