In SimonGoring/pb210dating: Generate and Interpret 210Pb Dates

pb210dating

The pb210dating package is a package in development for CRAN and the R environment. The package is designed to take data directly from instruments and calibrate and quantify time using both cf and cfcs methods of age calibration.

Overview

The package uses several objects to manage the workflow from raw data to estimated ages. These include a constants object. This object may be read directly from file or may be added by a user. These data include half-life constants, section depth, volume and mass and other variables that describe the samples and constants used to estimate age.
