The Laboratory of Paleoecology (PALAB) processes different types of samples in the lab focusing on retrieving biological proxies that will result in concentrates or residues with applications on Quaternary paleoecology and paleolimnology, radiocarbon dating (sample pre-treatment to date pollen residue), archaeology and biostratigraphy. The service is open to any universities, research institutes or centres, individual researchers and private and public companies. We work on a wide range of palaeoarchives including lake sediments, peat bogs and similar, modern samples (including mosses), archaeological sites, caves, middens, etc.
