Professor Paula Reimer has won the prestigious James Croll Medal of the Quaternary Research Association. The James Croll Medal is highest award of the Quaternary Research Association, and is normally awarded to a member who has not only made an outstanding contribution to the field of Quaternary science, but whose work has also had a significant international impact.

Paula’s research on radiocarbon (14C) dating and its applications, and radiocarbon calibration in particular, is world-leading and of international significance. She has worked for several decades on extending and refining the internationally ratified 14C calibration curves which are used by geoscientists and archaeologists to correct radiocarbon ages for the variability of atmospheric or marine 14C in the past. The latest version of this, IntCal201, is the state-of-the-art tool for all archaeologists, geologists, geographers and environmental scientists to calibrate radiocarbon dates to meaningful timescales.
