The 14CHRONO Centre analyses a wide variety of carbon containing samples using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) 14C to provide radiocarbon ages or fractions of modern carbon. We also provide AMS 14C analyses for archaeological companies, forensic investigations and industries interested in monitoring bio- vs. fossil based components. We collaborate with researchers around the world to construct radiocarbon calibration curves to convert radiocarbon ages to 'calendar' ages. We also provide...

The UK High-Field Solid-State NMR Facility is based around a 23.5 Tesla standard-bore (54 mm) NMR magnet (corresponding to a 1H Larmor frequency of 1 GHz, brought to field in November 2020, as the first 1 GHz NMR magnet in the UK) and a 20 Tesla wide-bore (89 mm) NMR magnet (corresponding to a 1H Larmor frequency of 850 MHz), both equipped with a HFXY rf console. There is a wide range of probes: for magic-angle spinning (MAS) for rotor diameters 0.7 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 4 mm and 7...

The Children of the 1950s study (ACONF) is a population-based resource for researchers primarily studying the biological and social influences on health across the life-course and between generations. Comprising individuals born in Aberdeen, Scotland between 1950 and 1956, this cohort is based on the 12,150 people who took part in the Aberdeen Child Development Survey, a cross-sectional study in a population of all children who were attending an Aberdeen primary school in December 1962. The data...

Using new data sources and novel methodologies, the Scottish Centre for Administrative Data Research analyses public sector data and explores what linking it in new ways can reveal. 

Comprising of researchers from a range of leading institutions across Scotland, the centre itself is hosted within the University of Edinburgh and directed by Professor Chris Dibben. Our research uses administrative data to examine issues from across society in Scotland and the UK, providing evidence-based...
