Biography

Mark Garnett is a Deputy Manager and Research Fellow at the NEIF Radiocarbon Facility within the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre. His expertise lies in radiocarbon analysis, specifically in the development and application of methods to recover samples for carbon dioxide 14C analysis in various environments. His work significantly contributes to understanding the sources and rates of carbon cycling, including soil respiration, deep peat CO2 emissions, surface water gas exchange, and atmospheric CO2 levels. Garnett's research interests include establishing chronologies and investigating terrestrial carbon cycles, with a particular focus on bomb-14C applications, assessing the age of surface layers of peats, and the use of 14C analysis in soil meso-fauna studies. His contributions to the field have provided insights into carbon accumulation in soils and peats and the overall dynamics of carbon sources and sinks.
