Applications of accelerator mass spectrometry

Author(s)

Abstract

Applications of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) evolved into

multi-disciplinary research covering virtually every domain of our

environment at large. The possibilities of applications are clearly

coupled to technical developments of AMS, which will be covered by the

accompanying article of H.-A. Synal. The present review therefore

concentrates on describing AMS applications to the largest extent

possible. Since the knowledge of the author on the many fields where AMS

measurements are performed is, of course, limited, the selection of

examples discussed in this review is somewhat biased. In order to

compensate for this, a rather long list of references is presented,

which should be consulted for a deeper understanding of the respective

fields. The seven domains of our environment at large (atmosphere,

biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, cosmosphere, and

technosphere) are being used as a guideline for the present review.
