Seems all I do is try and think of research paper ideas. Two down, actually three down, and one to go. The final "paper" is going to be a project for Geomorphology. Maybe something about pluvial lakes since that's what intially interested me to land processes and form in the first place.
My advisor and I finally had a little chat about what I should do for my seminar paper. I will be researching something I've only read about in second semester Calculus or DiffEq's: half life!! Actually Carbon-14 dating in materials. Materials in this case would be any kind of core from a tree or the earth.
So, in an effort to get geared up, it's time to read up:
Carbon -14 info
Scintillation Machine
Carbon 14 Dating and LSC
Overview of LSC
