Research Scientist Reika Yokochi worked with physicists at Argonne National Laboratory to develop a technique using nuclear dating to track historical climate change in the Floridian Aquifer. The technique, called radiokrypton, has the potential to drive discoveries in physics, geology, climate science, and many other areas.
