Sub-groups

Given the nature of the calibration records much of the work for IntCal is carried out in specialist working groups.

At present the groups working on the next iteration are:

• Absolutely dated tree rings
• Floating tree rings/terrestrial records
• Speleothems
• Ocean records and modelling
• Comparison records
• Statistics and data handling

The overall working group is drawn from members of the subgroups. If you are directly involved in research involving the generation of data, or other important contronutions which might feed into the IntCal effort, you should contact the covener of the relevant group which is given in the relevant page.
