Since the previous conference, the Australian National University AMS
system has undergone a series of refinements, and the research program
conducted on the facility has expanded significantly. The system is n
ow used for the measurement of the isotopes Be-10, C-14, Al-26, Cl-36,
Ni-59, and I-129. The research program includes projects in hydrology
, geomorphology, environmental geochemistry and biomedicine. Chlorine-
36 remains the principal isotope, but the demand for other heavy isoto
pes, especially Al-26, has burgeoned during 1992-93. This paper descri
bes the recent advances with AMS measurements on the 14UD, and details
the current status and future direction of the AMS research program.
